Track the work carried out by your teams

With the ManaTime physical time clock, your teams clock in and out on-site using a card or key fob. Attendance is recorded in real time, consolidated in the Attendance module, and then used for schedules, exceptions, overtime, payroll exports, and dashboards.

Why choose a physical time clock?

Ease of use: a single action (clocking in) to record attendance.

Reliability: a single checkpoint at entry/exit, with no missed entries.

Standardization: the same process for all employees on a site.

Actionable data: attendance, deviations from schedules, overtime, lateness.

Native integration: direct flows to ManaTime – zero re-entry.

How it works (from the employee's side)

Clock in on arrival → entry time is recorded.

Clock in at break (if enabled) → pause/resume for accurate calculation of worked hours.

Clock out on departure → exit time is recorded.

Result: presence time is automatically calculated according to your rules (scheduled hours, breaks, tolerances, rounding, overtime).

How it works (from the manager/HR side)

Real-time tracking: who is present, on break, or late.

Control & corrections: manage anomalies (missed clock-ins, discrepancies), handle adjustment requests, one-click approval.

Overtime & bonuses: calculated according to your agreements (minimums, maximums, premiums).

Payroll exports: generate reports in your payroll format.

Reporting: attendance rates, recurring lateness, overtime by team/site, comparisons.

Typical architecture

Time clock(s) at the entrance
Install one or more time clocks depending on the entry flow to streamline clock-ins and avoid queues. Each entry becomes a reliable, time-stamped event.

Network
The time clock sends data in real time to ManaTime via LAN or Wi-Fi (cloud). No local software: everything is managed online.

Event stream
Each badge generates an IN/OUT event sent to ManaTime. Presence times are automatically calculated according to your rules.

Consolidated multi-site
One single ManaTime account to aggregate all your sites. You can track attendance by location and get an instant global overview.

HR workflow in 4 steps

Initial setup
Define your working hours, sites, teams, rounding rules, breaks, overtime rules, and holidays. Your calculations become consistent and secure.

Badge assignment
Assign each employee their card/key fob (UID + identity). Pairing is quick and traceable.

Daily management
View attendance, address anomalies (missed clock-ins, discrepancies), and approve with one click. Managers save time, and data remains clean.

Period closing
Export times for payroll, analyze the indicators, archive. Your payroll cycles are faster and error-free.

Compliance & Security

GDPR
The purposes are clear (attendance tracking) and the retention periods are configurable. Data is hosted and protected according to best practices.

Traceability
Each clock-in, correction, or validation is logged. You have a complete audit trail in case of inspection.

Access control (optional)
Pair attendance and access control if needed (doors, turnstiles). The same badge for two purposes, according to your internal policies.

Confidentiality
Tailored profiles and permissions (employee, manager, HR, admin) ensure that each person only sees what they are authorized to view.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What if an employee forgets to clock in?

The manager or HR can correct and adjust each entry.

Can we manage multiple sites and multiple time clocks?

Yes. Each site can have one or more time clocks. All data is consolidated into a single ManaTime account.

Do we need to create specific badges?

You can use standard RFID cards/key fobs. The important part is the unique ID assigned to the employee in ManaTime.

Can attendance and access control be differentiated?

Yes. The time clock can be used solely for attendance tracking. Physical access (doors/turnstiles) is optional.

How are overtime and breaks managed?

Through configurable rules (working hours, rounding, automatic breaks, overtime thresholds, premiums) that are applied automatically to clock-ins.

And for payroll?

You export the consolidated work hours in the format required by your payroll software. No more manual re-entry.
