While the punch clock bring to mind the old factory model, fordian production line, unions and black and white movies http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%27m_All_Right_Jack lets not forget that "white collar professionals" also "bill by the hour". There are a number of applications, both PC level and phone/tablet apps that are geared for professionals to assign their time to various client projects. Maybe Michael can give us more context and purpose for his requirements. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Yea it wasn't "time management" it was for a hourly employee that do those mindless jobs in factory type work. -- Michael Dunsavage Please excuse any typos or brevity.

And said employees will have a networked PC (internet or restricted to local LAN) or is this using ubiquitous cell phone? Said employees are tech-savy enough for this? Oh, and is there something that means they can't access the resources needed to do their job unless they <strike>log Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
Or is this a single touchscreen GUI hanging on the wall where the old mechanical punch-clock used to be? That, at least, will seem familiar and ease the transition to a "new technology". Perhaps the same access cards/ID cards used to open doors and "man-traps" can be used at the "time clock".

Yes, that was what I was looking for. I found a company that can provide a device with web access backend to run the reports. It's not perfect, but it accomplishes what I wanted. Sorry for the confusion. Thanks again. -- Michael Dunsavage Please excuse any typos or brevity.

If their jobs require a login on any system that produces log files, then a simple routine to parse login/out times would be a good addition/backup for the time clock.
