W38 / W35 GLOBAL TIME ATTENDANCE AGW Systems
TIME ATTENDANCE HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR SYSTEM WHAT IS MY BEST CHOICE? The first step in selecting your time attendance system is to know clearly how much information you want to obtain from it. Three are the main levels, the most elementary is just taking care of the IN/OUT punches. Up to this basic surveillance mode almost any brand and time clock will do, even the cheapest ones. Next control level implies hour calculations, if you need to obtain from your system, regular hours, overtimes and absenteeism per employee, then, three special time attendance tools are required: Shift Calendars, each employee has a private shifts calendar where each calendar s date is assigned to a shift to be fulfilled for the employee, the calendar shows concepts such as vacation days, sick days and other significant issues. Shift configuration, where allowed periods of working time are shown as well as how to deal with different overtime hours and absenteeism. Leave types configuration, configuration of leave reasons as worked time is accruable or just absent time. Highest level requirements in time attendance management consist of features such as having an employee s site, where each employee is entitled to obtain reports from the time attendance system to check his hour s balance, punches, shift calendar, etc. Which punching method, badge or fingerprint? Two main punching methods are available in the market, badge or biometric punching. Badges can be magnetic stripe based or proximity cards, biometric punching can either be fingerprint based, palm-hand-based or facial recognition. At AGW we made the choices easier for you, we propose you Proximity Card (Badge) or Fingerprint (Biometric) punching. Lets see advantages and drawbacks of each punching method: the fastest punching method is proximity card, in a single proximity card time-clock, up to 40 to 50 employees can punch in one minute while in a biometric timeclock the rate is only of 15 to 20 employees per minute. Punching in a biometric terminal is somewhat slower due to the fact that the employee must place the finger properly in the reader and positioning in front of the time clock takes some seconds. Fingerprint punching, has besides some important advantages which are the following: avoids buddy punching and also there are no additional costs for lost cards. Our time clock models: W38 TimeClock is a fingerprint based timeclock and our W35X is a Proximity Card based time clock. We offer also the W38X, a Two in one time clock with a fingerprint reader plus an embedded cards reader. Connectivity: TCP/IP Once decided the punching method, connectivity is the next issue to be concerned about, LAN and the internet are strongly related in our time-clocks, you can obtain the information in real time from your LAN or even from outside your office via internet. Time Clocks can even send punches by internet to remote locations where Time Attendance Software is hosted. USB time clocks aren t scalable and do not provide real time information, imagine having 30 time clocks worldwide and having to collect the information of them all! USB connectivity is not in our league and you should avoid it at all costs. T&A Software: classic or web based? Main features in a T&A systems are provided by the Software. It can be either a PC based software or a web based software. We offer only web based Software since it is cross-platform and you can run it on Mac OSX, Windows or Linux.

SHIFT AND CALENDARS FOR EACH EMPLOYEE EASY AND POWERFUL You decide the number and type of concepts or parameters you are going to track. Shifts parameters track not only IN and OUT hours but how many regular hours must be fulfilled for each day, how many overtime hours are allowed, lunch time and any other information related to hours and absenteeism calculations. Shifts can be applied to any other employees with the same payroll setup. Further than shifts configuration, each employee can have an attached calendar where special days, for example, sick days, vacations, shift changes, etc. can be reflected and recorded. The information stored in the calendar will be available later when obtaining reports. The embedded WebTime software is very user friendly, it is possible to use it directly with neither Shift configuration or calendars, when used in this way the software will supply punch reports, attendance time, break time with its totals per period.

LEAVE TRACK WORK LEAVES ABSENTEEISM LEAVES TIME AND SPARE HOURS The main time attendance s goal is to track the real amounts of worked time, employee s lateness and also the amount of spare time detailed for each leave type or even to obtain full detail of worked time on the field. WebClock s software does it thanks to special tools provided to accomplish the task. It is possible to introduce directly in the reports worked time in the field and also it is possible to punch out with a code typed through the keypad. Codes are defined by the user and can be classified in three general leave types, absenteeism for any non paid leave, accrual paid time to be applied when is a legally paid leave and attendance leave when the employee is in fact leaving to perform any external work for the company. Each company configures the software with its own leaves concepts definitions and descriptions Descriptions are displayed in the time clock when the employee selects the code through the keypad.

FINGERPRINT W38 FEATURES W38 punch clock has a fingerprint reader, employees must only place the finger on the reader, the webclock shows directly their name in the display and also the punch registered time. Fingerprint punching avoids problems produced when cards are lost or forgotten. Punching g is a bit slower but it also avoids buddy punching. Up to 2000 fingerprint patterns can be stored in the webclock standard version, 10.000 patterns can be stored in the W38 Extended version. Each employee can enroll several fingerprints Fingerprint scanning time is closely related to the number of stored fingerprints but keeps lower than one second in normal usage. Cleaning services companies and employees using abrasive liquids can not use this type of reader since those employees have very damaged or no fingerprint at all. The W38X model, has a fingerprint reader and also a proximity card reader and can be used in both ways at will.
W35X BADGE TIME CLOCK FEATURES When the employee places his proximity card on the clock s red dot a punch is generated, his name is shown in the display as well as the punching time. The punch is only generated when the card is almost touching the red dot to avoid unwilling punches. Punching with proximity cards is faster the punching by biometric readers, up to 40 persons per minute. Main disadvantage is that buddy punching is possible and some spare cards are need to replace lost cards. Proximity cards are complete weather proof its duration is usually longer than 8 years, when any employee leaves the company, the card can be assigned to any other employee and keep reusing the same cards constantly.
EMPLOYEE S SITE Employee s Site? YES, WebClocks feature an employee s site,each authorized employee can access his private site and check his punches, hours balance, his shift calendar and other reports. Not only browsing his data, employee s can also punch directly from their web site if authorized to it. Very useful for employees working at customers office since they just login from internet and punch in the clock located in our headquarters. Flexible Shift When flexible shift is established, web access to the hour s balance of each employee is crucial since with this tool each employee knows how many working hours ore due and his information is exactly the same seen by the human resources department. Employee s site format is quite different than the administrators format and each employee has only access to his own information. AGW Systems
