TimeTec – An Introduction
THE BASIC UNDERSTANDING OF TIMETEC
TimeTec is a web based FingerTec application for managing employee data and
attendance records. Administrators can manage employees easily as they are able
to transfer user data within the terminals with TimeTec. Attendance data from Fin-
gerTec terminals are downloaded into TimeTec to provide an overview of the staff’s
attendance. TimeTec works with a MySQL database to maximize the capacity stor-
age and minimize housekeeping efforts.
Managing and using the TimeTec is easy. FingerTec terminals automatically upload
new user information (user ID, fingerprint templates, card information and pass-
word) to TimeTec whenever a new employee is registered at the terminal.
For companies with multiple branches or outlets, employees are often relocated.
With TimeTec, an administrator can upload the information of the employee con-
cerned to relevant terminals in the new branch within seconds. The employee can
then start to report his/her attendance at the new branch immediately. If an em-
ployee resigns, the administrator will be able to delete the employee details from
the system easily as well.
TimeTec provides a complete hierarchy to fit most companies’ structure. It is di-
vided into Company > Branch > Department > Section. An administrator can assign
employees into the appropriate level in a company to ease management and data
viewing. The system administrator can also assign new administrators/operators to
run TimeTec, manage attendance data, and generate reports. It comes with a multi-
level login authorization where the system administrator can assign the operating
levels of each user, for example an administrator of the Accounts department will
only be able to view records within the Accounts department – records and trans-
actions from other departments /branches / companies will not be viewable to the
Accounts administrator.
With the TimeTec, FingerTec terminals are utilized as attendance capturing stations.
Employees report their attendance by verifying their fingerprint, card or password,
and the attendance records will be uploaded to TimeTec immediately for the sys-
tem administrator to view in the attendance sheet. This ensures that the attendance
records in TimeTec will always be up to date. TimeTec provides a total of 999 work-
ing scenarios, each with 7 pairs of clocking status:
