The UniFocus Time Clock

The UniFocus Time Clock is a real-time, smart clock that interacts seamlessly with the UniFocus Time & Attendance application. Accommodating multiple languages, the Time Clock offers an easy-to-use touch screen that allows:

  • Employees to quickly and accurately record their hours, breaks, shifts, and tips.
  • Managers to enroll and re-enroll employees in properties.

The Time Clock can be mounted to walls, desks, or shelves. Depending on your company’s setup, it can have various attached devices, such as proximity card readers, barcode scanners, magnetic card readers, and biometric readers. These attached devices expedite the login experience so that employees do not have to manually enter information on the touch screen.

Info

Version 120 of the UniFocus Time Clock features a redesigned user interface. For images and information, see Time Clock user interface overview - versions 120 and later.

Visual Login Instructions

Only touch screen entry for badge and PIN:

Magnetic card readers:

Barcode scanners:

Proximity card readers:

The visual login instructions comprise a set of one-page documents that can be posted next to Time Clocks on your property.

Because Time Clocks can be configured with various types of peripheral identification devices (such as barcode scanners, proximity card readers, magnetic card readers, and biometric readers), there is also a variety of ways that companies can configure Time Clocks for employee login. For example, some companies might set up their Time Clocks so that employees log in using a barcode scanner and then a biometric reader; other companies might have their employees log in using a proximity card followed by manually entering their PINs.

Each document provides simple, graphics-based instructions for logging in to a Time Clock. Find the method that matches your company’s setup, print it, and post it by your Time Clocks so that employees can follow the steps.

The peripheral devices attached to your Time Clocks might look different than the images shown in the handouts.
