Registration Form
DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE
Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software
before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue
using it, you are expected to register. Individual programs
differ on details -- some request registration while others
require it, some specify a maximum trial period. With
registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue
using the software to an updated program with printed manual.
Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software,
and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific
exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished
programmers, just like commercial authors, and the programs are
of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good programs
and bad ones!) The main difference is in the method of
distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy
and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a
specific group. For example, some authors require written
permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their
Shareware.
Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You
should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook,
whether it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes
fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy.
And because the overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware
has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the
product, you don't pay for it.

Timeclock I is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge
to the user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your
friends, but please do not give it away altered or as part of
another system. The essence of "user-supported" software is to
provide personal computer users with quality software without
high prices, and yet to provide incentive for programmers to
continue to develop new products. If you find this program
useful and find that you are using Timeclock I and continue to use
Timeclock I after a reasonable trial period, you must make a reg-
istration payment of $79.95 to Faught Data Systems. The $79.95
registration fee will license one copy for use on any one
computer at any one time. You must treat this software just like
a book. An example is that this software may be used by any
number of people and may be freely moved from one computer
location to another, so long as there is no possibility of it
being used at one location while it's being used at another.
Just as a book cannot be read by two different persons at the
same time.
Commercial users of Timeclock I must register and pay for their
copies of Timeclock I within 60 days of first use or their license
is withdrawn. Site-License arrangements may be made by con-
tacting Faught Data Systems.
i
Anyone distributing Timeclock I for any kind of remuneration must
first contact Faught Data Systems at the address below for authorization.
This authorization will be automatically granted to distributors
recognized by the (ASP) as adhering to its guidelines for
shareware distributors, and such distributors may begin offering
Timeclock I immediately (However Faught Data Systems must still be
advised so that the distributor can be kept up-to-date with the latest
version of Timeclock I.).
You are encouraged to pass a copy of Timeclock I along to your
friends for evaluation. Please encourage them to register their
copy if they find that they can use it. All registered users
will receive a copy of the latest version of the Timeclock I
program.
This program is produced by a member of the Association of Share-
ware Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure thae the share-
ware principle works for you. If you are unable to resolve a
shareware-related problem with an ASP member by contacting the
member directly, ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can

Introduction
============
TimeClock was designed to modernize the timekeeping and payroll
tasks of everyday business life. By making use of an IBM
compatible computer system and the TimeClock program you can save
many hours of manual effort during a typical pay period.
Not only does TimeClock eliminate the need to manually tabulate
old fashion time cards, it can improve employee communication and
collect job cost information.
Getting Started
===============
Installation
============
Please read the INSTALL.DOC file first. In most cases it will
contain all the information you need to install the program. The
instructions below are from the registered version and were included
to assist those who may have received an uncompressed version.
TimeClock can be installed in just a few minutes. If you are an
experienced PC user, just make a new directory (typically TC) and
copy on the distribution disk(s). If you are upgrading to version
2.3 from an earlier version, copy only the .EXE files, CLOCK.HLP and
SYSTEM.* If you are not so experienced please perform the following steps.
1. Starting a the C> prompt type MD C:\TC then press the Return
or Enter key. This creates a new sub-directory called TC.
2. Now type CD TC and press the Enter key. You are now logged
into the TC sub-directory.
3. Place the TimeClock distribution disk #1 in your A drive
(floppy) and close the gate.
4. Type COPY A:*.* then press the Enter key. The files from the
distribution disk will be copied into the TC sub-directory.
If you are upgrading to version 2.2 do only steps 2, 5 and 6.
5. Remove disk #1 and insert disk #2 and repeat step 4. This
will complete the installation of your new TimeClock program.
6. Upgrades only! Type Copy A:*.EXE. After the programs are
copied then type COPY A:*.HLP then COPY A:SYSTEM.* . Your
system parameters and password will have changed so please
remember to rest them when you first enter the program. The
default password is still 'PW'.
Note! The TimeClock program will open 13 files. Your CONFIG.SYS
file should have a FILES= statement with at least this number.
FILES=20 is a good choice for most programs.
Setup
=====
Next you will need to establish a few basic parameters that tell
the programs how you want them to work. You will also be able to
change the password to something more original than 'PW'. If at
anytime you are unsure of what to do, press the F1 function key
and a help screen will be displayed.
You should already be in the TC sub-directory, if not type CD\TC
and press the Enter key. Now type TC and press the Enter key.
1
The program will show you the files that are being opened and
then request that you enter a password. Type in 'PW' and press
the Enter key and the main TimeClock screen should be displayed.
A password is also required to exit from the program. This
feature prevents someone from changing the system time during
TimeClock operations.
Now press the F9 function key. Once more you will be asked to
enter the password. Type 'PW' then press the Enter key. You
should now be looking at a screen labeled 'Supervisory Menu'. Try
pressing the F1 function key now for directions on how to select
a menu entry. When you have read the screen press the ESC key to
clear away the help screen and select 'Maintain System
Parameters'.
Turn to the section on 'Maintain System Parameters' in this
manual. If you want more information continue to use the F1
function key each time you need help.
Once you have established your system parameters you need only
enter your employee names and codes and you are ready to use the
TimeClock program.
Operations
==========
Each time an employee punches in or out during the day, an entry
is recorded in the Daily file. Before you can print the Payroll
Report or the Job Cost Report or even run the Purge program,
these entries must be transferred to the Master file. To
accomplish this transfer you must run the program 'Close Daily
File'. This program will transfer all of the previous days
entries to the Master file and delete them from the Daily file.
Before preparing your payroll you will want to run the 'Payroll
Report' to get the time accumulation for each employee. Review
this report carefully, and, if necessary edit the information
using the 'Edit Master File' program. Once the editing has been
completed you can print your final Payroll and Job Cost reports.
Periodically you will want to run the 'Purge Master File'
program, which eliminates out-of-date records from your system
and improves performance of the reports. There is no requirement
to run the purge program regularly, however if you are using CCVT
to convert Master file data to another format you will want to
purge more frequently.
Punch In/Out
============
By now you probably already know that pressing the F10 function
key from the main TimeClock screen, calls up the Punch In/Out
window. If you haven't already tried it, do so now.
Enter an employee file number. Note that the program will fill
in the leading zero's for you. The program will verify the
employee code and read the employee's name and the default cost
center from the employee file. You may accept this cost center
(or blank) by simply pressing the Enter key or you may enter a
new one. If an employee message was entered into this employee's
record, it will also be displayed.
The program will next check to see if there is already one or
more records for this employee to determine if this punch is an
2
'in' or an 'out'. To allow for shifts that span midnight this
search looks as far back as 12:00AM of the previous day. The
result is displayed in the upper right corner of the punch
window. Exception.. If the employee's last punch was an 'in' on
the previous day, and nine or more hours have passed, the
exception screen will be displayed. This screen advises the
employee that he/she is about to be punched 'out', and allows
them to reverse the punch.
The punch window will remain on screen until another key is
pressed or until the message display time expires. The message
display time is one of the values you entered during the setup
process. Employee specific messages are automatically cleared
from the employee file on the first punch following their entry.
Supervisory Menu
================
To display the supervisory menu, press the F9 function key while
the main time clock screen is being displayed. The password
window will be displayed, enter your password, then press the
Enter key. If you enter an incorrect password, three beep's will
sound. This feature alerts you when someone else is trying to
gain access to the supervisory functions.
Selections from the supervisory menu can be accessed by directing
the selection bar to the desired item with the up-arrow or down-
arrow keys then pressing the Enter key. You may also type the
first character of a selection and the program will find the
first entry that starts with that character.
Supervisory Punch
=================
Pressing the F10 function key from the Supervisory Menu will gain
access to the Supervisory Punch feature. This is a specially
designed program which allows post-facto punch entries directly
into the MASTER file. Each time it is used, two entries are
written to the file, one for the IN time and another for the OUT
time.
Enter the employee file number and press the <Enter> key. This
will cause the employee name to be displayed, and move the cursor
to the Punch Type field.
The Punch Type creates a dedicated code for vacation, sick leave
or holiday in the Cost Center field ($VAC, $SCK and $HOL), each
of which is reported separately by the Payroll Report. To make a
selection, use the right-arrow or left-arrow keys or enter the
capitalized letter which represents your choice, then press the
<Enter> key. Only the 'Other' selection will allow entry into
the Cost Center field.
If you select 'Other' you may then enter the cost center of your
choice. If you use the $ as the first character of the cost
center ($COMP) the time entered will be collected in the 'Other'
category on the Payroll Report (Unless you type $VAC, $SCK or
$HOL).
Next enter the date, the IN time and the OUT time in the same
format you would elsewhere in the program. After the entry is
stored in the file, the cursor will return to the File Number
field so that you can make another entry (previous selections are
saved on the screen for you convenience and need not be re-
3
entered unless they are to change).
Caution.....Do not overlap times on a single date. This might
happen if for example an employee worked on a holiday and you
want to also show holiday time on the same day. Another example
would be if an employee punched out at 10am and your punch
indicates sick leave from 9:30am. The Payroll report cannot
calculate the hours accurately if the times overlap.
Employee Status Board
=====================
If you press the F8 function key from the main Timeclock screen,
the employee status board will be displayed. This program will
display the last punch for each employee as shown in the DAILY
file. If no punch is found the employee will be shown 'OUT', and
the time and date fields will be blank.
You may use the Up-Arrow, Down-Arrow, PgUp and PgDn keys to
display more employees. Press the ESC key when you have finished
viewing the information and you will return to the main Timeclock
screen.
Employee Timecard
=================
If you press the F5 function key from the main Timeclock screen,
the employee timecard window will be displayed. This program will
display all the individual punches for the entered employee that
are in the DAILY file (have not been closed).
You may use the Up-Arrow, Down-Arrow, PgUp and PgDn keys to display
more information. Press the ESC when you have finished viewing the
data and you will return to the main Timeclock screen.
Maintain Employee File
======================
Changing employee information is accomplished in two steps,
selection and update.
The first screen to appear when you enter the program is the
selection table. To enter a new employee press the Ins (Insert)
key. If the table is empty the program will automatically go to
the update screen.
To modify or delete employee information you must first select
the correct employee file number. This is accomplished by using
the up-arrow, down_arrow, PgUp, and PgDn keys to move the
selection bar through the table. You may also enter the employee
file number in the selection field which causes the selection bar
to automatically find the correct entry.
Once a selection has been made, pressing the Enter key will cause
a window to be displayed with the selected employee's
information, allowing you to make changes or add an employee
message.
Pressing the Del (Delete) key will also display this
window and then ask you to confirm the deletion.
The employee window contains only the employee file number, name,
default cost center, and an employee specific message. Each
employee must be given a unique file number.
The default cost center is an optional field and may be left
blank if you choose not to use the job cost report.
4
The employee message fields, allow you to enter a message for the
selected employee that will be displayed when this employee
punches in or out. The message will be deleted as soon as this
employee punches in or out.
Please note that when you are changing employee information you
must enter through all the fields in the screen to make the
change take effect or use Ctrl-Enter at any time. Ctrl-Enter
means that you hold the Ctrl key down while pressing the Enter
key.
Bulletin Board Maintenance
==========================
This is where you enter and/or modify the information shown on
the bulletin board of the main TimeClock Screen. Simply type the
information you want displayed in the fields provided.
Please note that if you exit the screen (Pressing ESC from the
first field) before you have entered through all the fields, the
information that you have typed has not been permanently saved.
You may also use the Ctrl-Enter feature to save your changes.
Edit Daily File
===============
In this program you can add, modify or delete the records
produced by the 'Punch In/Out' functions. (Please note than only
records than have not been transferred to the Master file can be
edited.) The most common occurance is a failure to punch in or
out, which requires that you add a new record.
This program works just like the 'Maintain Employee File'
program. To add a new record press the Ins (Insert) key and the
update window will be displayed.
To change or delete an item it must first be selected. Selection
is accomplished by directing the selection bar with the up-arrow,
down-arrow, PgUp and PgDn keys. This process can be speeded up
by first entering the employee's file number in the selection
field which will allow you to skip over the entries of other
employees. Then use the arrow keys to fine tune your selection.
Once an entry has been selected, pressing the Enter key will
display the update window and allow you to change the information
it contains.
If you press the Del (Delete) key (after selection) the update
window will also be displayed, and ask you to confirm the
deletion.
The update window contains the five items that you can enter or
change. When you enter the employee file number the program will
automatically fill in the leading zeros.
The date and time fields are next. Please note that the time is
entered in military style. 1PM becomes 1300, 2PM is 1400 and so
on through 2400 for midnight. This is actually the fastest way
to enter time into the computer because it eliminates the AM or
PM keystrokes. If you have trouble adjusting just look below the
time field and you will see the translation to AM or PM.
5
When adding a new record, and when the file number, date and
time have been entered, the program will check to see if an entry
exists which duplicates the one you are entering. If a duplicate
is found you will not be allowed to proceed with this entry.
As with the punch program, the cost center field is optional.
You must select either in or out. You can either type the
information into the field or select one of the choices with the
left or right arrow keys. After pressing the enter key in the
in/out field, the information is saved and you will be returned
to the selection table.
Close Daily File
================
As explained in the operations section, each punch (in or out)
is saved in the Daily file. Before this information can be used
in the reports or edited, it must be transferred to the Master
file. When you execute the 'Close Daily File' program, this
transfer takes place.
You must first respond to 'Close Current Date '...A 'Yes' answer
will allow records in the DAILY file showing the current system
date to transfer. Warning... if you choose this option, be sure
all employees have punched out for the day. If not the program
will get the IN and OUT punches confused.
The program begins execution when you press the return key with a
'Y' in the space immediately past the question mark. A pre-close
process executes first, to determine whether anyone who punched
'in' on the previous day has failed to punch 'out'. If this is
true the program will stop, display the employee code and a
message 'IN WITHOUT AN OUT..PRESS ANY KEY'. Record each employee
number for which the program stops for review later. This is just
a warning message, the close will continue.
Please note that only information dated earlier than the current
system date will be transferred unless you answere 'Yes' to 'Close
Current Date'.
Warning to network users....Closing the daily file requires exclusive
access to the file. Make sure no other users are active at the time
of close or a network sharing violation may occur.
Edit Master File
================
In this program you can add, modify or delete the records
produced by the 'Punch In/Out' functions. (Please note than only
records transferred to the Master file can be edited.) The most
common occurance is a failure to punch in or out, which requires
that you add a new record.
This program works just like the 'Maintain Employee File'
program. To add a new record press the Ins (Insert) key and the
update window will be displayed.
To change or delete an item it must first be selected. Selection
is accomplished by directing the selection bar with the up-arrow,
down-arrow, PgUp and PgDn keys. This process can be speeded up
by first entering the employee's file number in the selection
field which will allow you to skip over the entries of other
employees. Then use the arrow keys to fine tune your selection.
6
Once an entry has been selected, pressing the Enter key will
display the update window and allow you to change the information
it contains.
If you press the Del (Delete) key (after selection) the update
window will also be displayed, and ask you to confirm the
deletion.
The update window contains the five items that you can enter or
change. When you enter the employee file number the program will
automatically fill in the leading zeros.
The date and time fields are next. Please note that the time is
entered in military style. 1PM becomes 1300, 2PM is 1400 and so
on through 2400 for midnight. This is actually the fastest way
to enter time into the computer because it eliminates the AM or
PM keystrokes. If you have trouble adjusting just look below the
time field and you will see the translation to AM or PM.
When adding a new record, and when the file number, date and
time have been entered, the program will check to see if an entry
exists which duplicates the one you are entering. If a duplicate
is found you will not be allowed to proceed with this entry.
As with the punch program, the cost center field is optional.
You must select either in or out. You can either type the
information into the field or select one of the choices with the
left or right arrow keys. After pressing the enter key in the
in/out field, the information is saved and you will be returned
to the selection table.
Payroll Report
==============
Running the payroll report is a simple as entering the date
range and the range of employee codes for the report and a
selection to determine if you want the times on the report
rounded off.
The report will include all of the information contained in the
Master file beginning with the Starting Date through (and
including) the Ending Date for the selected employee range. If
you enter zero for the ending code the program will assign a value
of 999999. A page break will occur after each employee's data has
been printed.
The 'lookback' date' will default to the report start date. It
should only be used for monthly and semi-monthly payroll periods
that begin on a day that is not the beginning of a payroll week.
If this is the case, set the lookback date to the beginning of the
payroll week preceeding the payroll period.
The 'lookback' punches will be printed on the report, but will be
used only to calculate weekly overtime.
If you selected a round-off in the System Parameters then you may
print the report rounded-off to the nearest tenth or quarter
hour. You may also run the report without the rounded-off
values. To choose, type yes or no in field or select the answer
you want with the left or right arrow key. When a 'Y' appears
next to the question mark, the selection is Yes.
Supplied punches If an employee's last punch for the reported
7
day is an 'in,' the report program will 'supply' a punch at
11:59PM. If an employee's first punch of the day is an 'out',
the program will 'supply' an 'in' at 12:00AM. Supplied punches
are identified on the report with the word 'supplied' at the far
right of the line.
Sub-Totals.. The program will print a sub-total of the hours
worked for each employee after every 7 calendar days, beginning
with the report starting date or the lookback date whichever is
the earliest.
Job Cost Report
===============
Running the Job Cost Report is basically the same as running the
payroll report.
The report will include all of the information contained in the
Master file beginning with the Starting Date through (and
including) the Ending Date for the selected range of cost
centers. It does, however group the figures and sub-total them
by Job Cost Center.
When entering the Starting Cost Center you may leave the field
blank to start with the first cost center in the file. The
Ending Cost Center should be larger (alphabetically) than the Beg-
ining Cost Center. If you leave the Ending Cost Center blank the
program will assign a value of ZZZZ... (all Z's) to this field.
If you selected a round-off in the System Parameters then you may
print the report rounded-off to the nearest tenth or quarter
hour. You may also run the report without the rounded-off
values. To choose either type yes or no in field or select the
answer you want with the left or right arrow key.
Supplied punches If an employee's last punch for the reported
day is an 'in', the report program will 'supply' a punch at
11:59PM. If an employee's first punch of the day is an 'out',
the program will 'supply' an 'in' at 12:00AM. Supplied punches
are identified on the report with the word 'supplied' at the far
right of the line.
Purge Master File
=================
There is no practical limit to the amount of information that can
be stored in the Master file, but as the file size grows the
reports will have more and more records to sort through to find
your data. If you Purge the file periodically you will reduce
the amount of data stored and improve the performance of the
reports. If you use CCVT to export data you will probably want
to Purge more often, since this utility will export the entire
file.
When the Purge is run, only records older than the date you enter
will be deleted. Be sure to back up the Master file and its
index files before you run this program. The file names are
MASTER.DAT, MASTER.K01 and MASTER.K02.
Maintain System Parameters
==========================
This program stores information in a file that is used by the
other programs to make certain features automatic or control
their operation.
8
The passwords you enter here is used for entrance to the
TimeClock program, on exit and to gain access to the supervisory
menu. If you forget your passwords the only way you can gain
access to the programs again is to reload the SYSTEM.DAT file
from your distribution diskette. This will set all passwords and
the other values back to their initial value. (PW)
The 'Print after Punch' allows you to decide if you want to
connect a printer to you TimeClock station. If a printer is
connected and you choose 'YES' for this field, each time someone
punches in or out, a message is sent to the printer. This gives
you a printed record of your employees activity.
Message time is the length of time in seconds (1-99) that the
punch window will remain on the screen if no one presses a key.
Ten seconds seems to be a good value, but feel free to experiment.
You may select either 'None', 'Tenth' or 'Quarter' for the round-
off parameter. If for example you select 'Tenth', you will then
be able to print the reports with the time values rounded to the
nearest tenth of and hour. Even if you select a value here you
will always have the option to print the reports without
rounding.
The overtime parameters are separated into two categories, daily
and weekly. Daily hours are checked first to determine how many
hours exceed the 'premium parameter' and converts this time to
premium time. Any remaining hours that exceed the 'overtime par-
ameter will be converted to overtime and the balance will be con-
sidered regular hours. If a parameter is set to zero then no
calculation will be made.
Weekly hours are processed in much the same way, but the
calculations are only concerned with the regular hours that
remain after the daily hours have been processed. Once again
setting a parameter to zero will prevent the calculation.
Remote Punch In/Out
===================
A remote Punch program is included on your distribution disk. It
is designed to allow employees to punch in or out from their
individual workstations in a network environment and to see the
Timeclock bulletin board.
To use the program the employee would log onto the TC sub-
directory and type PUNCH then press the Enter key. The punch
window will appear on their screen without displaying the main
TimeClock screen. Punch in or out operations are otherwise
identical to the main program.
This program will automatically exit after 60 seconds if the process
is not complete.
File Conversion
===============
A special utility is included with your programs to allow down-
loading information from your TimeClock program to other programs
such as a spread sheet or payroll program. This utility is not
shipped with the unregistered version.
DAILY.DAT ......TimeClock Daily File
MASTER.DAT......TimeClock Master File
EMPLOYEE.DAT....TimeClock Employee File
9
To invoke the program, log in to the TC sub-directory (CD\TC) and
type CCVT. The screen that appears requires that you enter some
information before the conversion takes place.
TimeClock file are in the Clarion format, which is the default
selection for 'Input Type'. Just press the Enter key.
For 'Input File' type one of the file names above. Normally the
MASTER.DAT file.
For 'Output Type' you may select dBaseII, dBaseIII, DIF or BASIC.
The option you choose is determined by the program that will
read the 'Output File'.
Your last selection is the 'Output File'. This is the file that
will contain the results of the conversion. A choice such as
MASTER.OUT would be very logical for the Master file. We do not
recommend using MASTER.DAT for output file name since the
information in your Master file would be replaced.
Time in the output file is given as the number of 1\100th seconds
since midnight. If you divide the time by 100 the result will
equal the number of seconds since midnight. Dividing this result
by 60 will yield the number of minutes since midnight. Once more
divide by 60 and you will have the number of hours.
Dates in the output file are given as the number of days since
December 28, 1800. January 1, 1991 will be represented by the
number 69,400.
Barcodes
========
Barcode readers used with the TimeClock program should be of the
"wedge" type. Wedge type readers are designed to connect both
the barcode reader and keyboard to your PC through the keyboard
connector. Several manufacturers produce either the conventional
wand type device or those which allow you to pass a card through
a slot.
Any barcode system than can duplicate the key strokes normally
used for punching in or out should work quite well. For example
if we were going to set up the code sequence for employee 000231,
we would use (F10)(000231)(Return). The parentheses should not
be included.
Screen Saver
============
Your TimeClock program includes an automatic screen saver feature
which will blank the screen after five minutes have passed
without a keyboard entry. Your screen will reappear when any key
is pressed.
