HandPunch
Each time an employee uses the HandPunch, their identity is positively
verified by the unique size and shape of their hand. No one can punch in
or out for them, which gives you the most accurate payroll possible.

No timecards or badges are needed to use the HandPunch reader. The
employee's hand is their card. Their hand can't be lost or forgotten,
which reduces your administrative costs. In addition, you'll never have to
pay for another card.

The HandPunch is a fully featured time clock complete with operational
battery backup and user capacity expandable to 27,904. No other
terminal positively verifies each employee and gives you the additional
savings generated by eliminating time theft, and fraud.

The HandPunch is fast and easy to use. Verification time is typically one
second.

Restricting the time an employee may use the HandPunch eliminates
early IN punches or unauthorized overtime punches. If an employee
attempts to use the system during an unauthorized time, the system will
display "TIME RESTRICTION."

EDIT AT THE CLOCK
Supervisor override mode allows input at the clock of items such as
missed punches, planned vacations, sick time, tips, etc. User
restrictions may also be overridden via this mode. This increases
supervisor flexibility and eliminates having all edits done at the
computer. This mode is password protected and an audit trail identifying
who entered the transactions is available.

DEPARTMENT TRANSFERS
To assure you will get the data you need for an accurate payroll, The
HandPunch can automatically request department information for every
punch or can be set to only request department data when asked by the
employee. If a home department can be assumed for most transactions
in your workplace, the user request mode minimizes data input for the
majority of employees.

ID NUMBER INPUT
Employees simply enter an ID number into the HandPunch's built-in
keypad and place their hand for verification. Once verified the clock
displays "OKAY" followed by the user's ID number. Using the keypad can
eliminate the costs associated with cards including administrative
costs. When was the last time an employee lost or forgot their hand?
Cards or bar codes may also be used to enter the ID number. The
HandPunch can be ordered with an optional mag stripe, Wiegand or bar
code reader. In this case, the employee would just swipe their badge
and the HandPunch would ask them to place their hand for verification.

EXPLICIT PUNCH MENU
Some workplaces cannot work with assumed schedules. If yours is one
of them, turning this menu on makes sure your system gets the data
required for accurate application of time and attendance rules and
ultimately an accurate payroll. Selections such as In, Out and Back from
Break or Lunch are available.

OFF-LINE OPERATION
Using the system in an off-line mode allows you to use the time and
attendance computer for other purposes. For remote sites, there is no
need for expensive dedicated telephone lines. When information needs
to be downloaded, just call the HandPunch's optional internal modem
over a standard dial-up phone line.

DAYLIGHT SAVINGS
Specify the date and time for daylight savings to take effect and the
HandPunch will automatically add or subtract one hour at the clock.

BELL SCHEDULE
The bell schedule allows the user to program the day, time and duration
for a series of bell rings. These rings may be used to signal the start or
end of a shift, lunch or a break.

OPERATIONAL BATTERY BACKUP
The system will accept punches for 2 to 3 hours after power is lost. All
hand template data and reader setup data will be maintained for up to 5
years by the standard lithium battery backup internal to the HandPunch.

Note: Some time and attendance software packages may not have
implemented all of these features in their interface software. Please
check with your software vendor for details.
