Time and attendance, or Workforce Management, systems are used by companies of all sizes to record working hours of employees primarily in order to pay their wages. Some companies have a requirement to record the number of hours spent on specific tasks in order to cost jobs accurately. This is referred to as job costing. A workforce management system enables an employer to have full control of all employees working hour’s right at an operators fingertips. It is also invaluable for ensuring compliance with labor regulations regarding proof of attendance.
    Companies with large employee numbers might need to install several clocking points in order to speed up the process of getting all employees to clock in or out quickly or to record activity in dispersed locations. Depending on the supplier, identification method and number of clocking points required, prices vary widely. A Workforce Management System protects a company from payroll and provides both employer and employees with confidence in the accuracy of their wage payments.
    Other systems have made inroads in the AIDC market, but the simplicity, universality and low cost of barcodes has limited the role of these other systems until the first decade of the 21st century, over 40 years after the introduction of the commercial barcode, with the introduction of technologies such as radio frequency identification, or RFID.
