Setting Up Your Clocking Method

From Wageloch Wiki

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.

Setting up Time Kiosk Registering Fingerprints Clocking In/Out Deleting Fingerprint Data
  • Once Wageloch Time Kiosk is installed and credentials are input, you'll be presented with a setup window.
  • Select Fingerprint Scanner
    • You can opt to register 2 fingers (one from each hand) or 4 fingers (2 from each hand).
  • Click Done to update the settings.
  • You'll now see a list of your employees with a question mark (?) next to their names, waiting for registration.
  • Click on the name of the employee you wish to register.
  • They'll be prompted to press their finger down on the scanner.
  • Press down on the scanner without rolling your finger with a little pressure.
  • You should see a green tick appear on the screen as the scanner flashes red.
  • Complete this a further 3 times on the same finger.
  • You'll then be prompted for a different finger.
  • Complete the process again.
  • All done! The employee you have just registered should no longer have a question mark (?) next to their name.
To clock in or out for your shift and/or breaks using the fingerprint scanner:
  • Open WageLoch Cloud Time Kiosk
  • Find your name on the screen and click it
  • Follow the onscreen instructions; make sure to place your finger flat on the pad and press down with a little bit of pressure.
  • The scanner should flash red and a message will pop up to welcome you to your shift, or say goodbye!
Note: Only users with management permissions in Wageloch can delete fingerprint data.
  • Click on the Settings cog in the top right corner and select Delete Fingerprint.
  • You'll be prompted for your management login details; sign in.
  • Click on the staff member name from the list.
  • Click Delete in the bottom left corner and confirm the deletion.
  • Done to finish.
  • Staff member is now ready to re-register their fingerprints.

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.
