A Brief Overview

History & Trends in Workforce Management

History

The face of this early time clock

shows employee numbers, which

would be dialed by employees

entering and leaving the factory.

The day and time of entry and exit

was punched onto cards, and the

record of hours an employee

worked was used to calculate an

employee’s pay.

“A time clock, sometimes known as a clock card machine or

punch clock or time recorder, is a mechanical (or electronic)

timepiece used to assist in tracking the hours an employee of

a company worked. In regards to mechanical time clocks this

was accomplished by inserting a heavy paper card, called a

timesheet, into a slot on the time clock. When the time card

hit a contact at the rear of the slot, the machine would print

day and time information on the card. This allowed a

timekeeper to have an official record of the hours an

employee worked to calculate and pay an employee.”
