Setting Up Your Clocking Method
To utilize Wageloch's time and attendance software to its full extent, we tend to recommend a clocking method to record your employees' clock in and out times. This saves time when it comes to Completing Timesheets as you will visually be able to determine when an employee has started and finished their shift.
Biometrics
Fingerprint Scanner
If you've elected to use a fingerprint scanner as your clocking method, you'll be required to install Wageloch Time Kiosk on a Windows based computer. You can find a step by step guide over at Installing Wageloch.
As the fingerprint scanner involves biometric scanning, it's important that we mention the Biometric Privacy and how data is stored.

To clock in or out for your shift and/or breaks using the fingerprint scanner:

Note: Only users with management permissions in Wageloch can delete fingerprint data.

Iris Scanner
Another biometric clocking option Wageloch offers is iris scanners. This hardware requires Wageloch Time Kiosk to be installed on your Windows based computer. You can find more information over at Installing Wageloch.
As the iris scanner has biometric functionality, this requires us to mention Biometric Privacy and how data is stored.

---|---|---|---|---|
Upon receiving your iris scanner from Wageloch, please contact Helpdesk for assistance in setting up Wageloch Time Kiosk and iris scanner. |
|
Please make sure that your computer and iris scanner is in a well lit area - not having enough light can cause issue with registration and clocking in/out later on.
