Depending on the type of Time Clock(s) your company uses, you enter data into the system in one of two ways:

Polling the time clocks.
Automatic transmission.

If your clock(s) require polling, you must initiate the process on the Manage Time Clocks screen. If your clock(s) automatically transmit, the process is automatically initiated.
