Time Clock Operation
If using a badge reader, Employees swipe their magnetic striped or bar coded badges they use to punch in and out. Proximity devices can also be used in most instances. In addition, employees can review current punches and accumulated hours at the clock, and supervisors can enter punches for employees who misplaced their badges. If not using badges, employees can be allowed to punch in their ID or badge number at the keypad terminals. Employees are then prompted to place their finger on the FingerScan sensor to perform a quick biometric validation.

Transactions can be scheduled to be uploaded to UNITIME in near real time, and punches are posted to employees' electronic timecards where business rules are applied.

Time Clock Features
ATS CSS Biometric time clocks are made of rugged cast aluminum with a key lockable steel base to protect connectors and optional accessories, and modular sealed keypads keep out dirt and grime. These time clocks come with 256k RAM and 128k of Flash memory to store employee finger templates and clock configurable functionality. Up to 1,200 templates are stored, allowing up to 600 employees to enroll 2 fingers.

One to One (1:1) vs One to Many (1:n) Employee Validation
Two different FingerScan technologies are available to validatie employees' stored Finger Templates. The One to One (1:1) method requires an employee first identify their unique ID either through the keypad or by swiping a badge. The employee is then prompted to place their finger for validation. The timeclock then validates the scanned finger against a stored template in the clock's memory. This is typically a faster method of validation than the One to many method.

The One to Many (1:n) methodology does not require an employee to at first identify him or herself with a unique ID or by swiping a badge. The employee is simply prompted to place their finger on the reader for identification. The clock then searches it's memory for the template that most closely matches that employee's finger scan within very sensitive security tolerances. Depending upon the number of employees stored at the clock, this method can take from under a second to several seconds for validation.
