Time Clock Overview

Time Clock, an Eclipse companion product, is an electronic time-tracking application providing employees a way to clock in when they begin work, account for breaks, and clock out at the end of the work day. Time Clock also tracks, logs, and reports on all employees' time for personal records and for manager tasks.

Note: Use the Time Clock Minutes control maintenance record to determine whether to display hours information in either hours and minutes or hours and fractional hours.

You do not need access to Eclipse all day to use Time Clock. You can log onto the system at the beginning of the day to clock in and log on again at the end of the day to clock out.

Like a manual time card system, you can clock in and out several times a day. You can also set up the system to automatically clock out for you if you do not normally have access to the system at the end of the day. For example, if you normally make deliveries all day and are only at the warehouse in the morning, you can clock in before your deliveries, and then set up the system to clock you out daily at 4:30pm when your shift ends.

Before you begin using Time Clock, you need to check the setup requirements and define your time clock options. The time zone defined in your user maintenance record determines the time zone displayed on the screens. If you do not have permission to change your setup or options, see your manager.
