UniFocus Time Clock User Documentation

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.

Version 120 of the Unifocus Time Clock features a redesigned user interface.
