What are they
Time clocks are used to track when an hourly employee gets to work and go home. They help keep
track of payroll.
They are good for employers, because they keep employees honest about when they worked. They are also good
for an employee do to the fact that they provide a printed record of the hours an employee works. This keeps employers from
cheating them on their wages. They are like a regular clocks except they can record the time
of an event.

down to the minute was not needed. But now that has changed.
