BuyerZone user comments: time and attendance system purchasing requirements

"I would like to be able to have employees enter in their own "code" into a keypad to track their time in and out and then be able to access that on my computer only. I am not sure if I indicated this correctly on an answer above. I don't have any idea what my options are...please advise."

"I need a timeclock that is very easy to use that simply calculates the amount of time each employee has worked at the end of the week, it does not need to track misc. time, i.e. sick, personal etc. it would be better if the timeclock did not need to be connected to a computer, but if it is necessary we'll work with it. I NEED A RELIABLE CLOCK QUICKLY!!!!"
