Abstract
The system and method of this invention enables the tracking of time and attendance of employees and personnel and the assignment of a salary or pay rate based on the position or job of the employee. An person's salary rate may automatically change according to the job type, place of work, or the period of time in which the person is working. The system generates time cards, which may be used by an invoicing means to produce invoices automatically.
Claims20
A time and attendance system comprising:
- (a) a computer comprising an at least one database and an at least one clock means for recording time stamps of workers punching in and out;
- (b) worker object means in said at least one database for storing an information of each of said workers;
- (c) job title object means in said at least one database for storing salary data in relation to job title data;
- and
- (d) a time card means within said computer responsive to said time stamps, said worker object means, and said job title object means, for generating time cards of said workers using said worker object means and using said time stamps with said job title data to calculate salaries of each of said workers.
A time and attendance system comprising:
- (a) a computer comprising an at least one database;
- (b) an at least one clock apparatus enabled to record time stamps of workers punching in and out;
- (c) a communication link interconnecting said computer and said at least one clock apparatus;
- (d) worker object means in said at least one database for storing an information of each of said workers;
- (e) job title object means in said at least one database for storing salary data in relation to job title data;
- and
- (f) a time card means within said computer responsive to said time stamps, said worker object means, and said job title object means, for generating time cards of said workers using said worker object means and using said time stamps with said job title data to calculate salaries of each of said workers.
A time and attendance system comprising:
- (a) a computer comprising an at least one database;
- (b) an at least one clock apparatus enabled to record time stamps of workers punching in and out;
- (c) a communication link interconnecting said computer and said at least one clock apparatus;
- (d) worker object means in said at least one database for storing an information of each of said workers;
- (e) job title object means in said at least one database for storing salary data in relation to job title data and invoicing data in relation to said job title data;
- and
- (f) a time card means within said computer responsive to said time stamps, said worker object means, and said job title object means, for generating time cards of said workers using said worker object means and using said time stamps with said job title data to calculate salaries of each of said workers.
A method, in a time and attendance system, said method comprising the steps of:
- (a) recording time stamps that correspond to punches of workers clocking and punching and in and out;
- (b) relating job title data to a work period of one of said workers if one of said time stamps is for clocking in;
- and
- (c) stop relating said job title data to said work period if one of said time stamps is for clocking out.
A salary system for computing salaries based on job titles, said salary system residing in a time and attendance system, said salary system comprising:
- (a) storing instruction means for causing said time and attendance system to store job titles and a salary data for each one of said job titles;
- (b) personnel instruction means for causing said time and attendance system to store personal data of workers;
- (c) input storing means for causing the said time and attendance system to store inputs from users of said time and attendance system, said inputs comprising time stamps that correspond to moments in which said workers punched in and out;
- and
- (d) time card means responsive to said storing means, personnel means, and input storing means, for generating time cards of said workers using personnel means and using said time stamps and said job titles to calculate salaries of each of said workers.
