Abstract

Systems and techniques to capture employee time for time and attendance management are disclosed. In general, in one implementation, a technique includes using a multi-touch tablet style device as a Cloud Clock for capturing employee time. Employees will punch in and out at the device by standing in front of the Cloud Clock with a personal ID card. The Cloud Clock device will use its front-facing video camera to identify the employee and log the time in a web-based application that tracks employee work hours. Such a Cloud Clock can also be used as a self-service station where employees can access their schedules, request time-off, and trade shifts. Such Cloud Clocks can be loaded with management software that allows the clocks to be remotely monitored for anomalies. The Cloud Clocks can also be updated remotely without requiring user intervention at the clock.
