Time and Attendance Solutions

Our Time and Attendance Systems

As a buildings management and security expert, Clearway developed our time and attendance service to respond to demand, replacing outdated systems such as using cards to clock in and out. These legacy approaches were vulnerable to manipulation and caused various issues, such as lost cards or inaccurate manual logs of entrance times.

Digital time and attendance software is convenient for staff, prevents unauthorised access, and is customisable to each organisation or business.

Features include:

• Biometric scans to verify the identity of an individual, using facial recognition, iris scans or fingerprint technology to log the arrival or departure of a confirmed person.
• Chipped ID cards or RFID ID tags, paired with card or chip readers to permit entry to restricted-access zones and record all events where an entry point is unlocked.
• Secure PIN-based entry systems, where colleagues can confirm their entry permissions through a designated device.
• App-based time and attendance controls, where staff can clock in or out remotely and on any approved device.

The data collected is useful for attendance tracking and automated payroll processing, cross-checking hours worked or shifts completed. Organisations can reduce administrative time and costs, log the time worked for employees deployed remotely or working off-site and ensure accurate records.

Alternative applications include workforce management, using data to identify opportunities for improved efficiencies and productivity.

Combining Time and Attendance Tracking With Access Controls

Access control systems are widely used in business environments where it is essential that only approved, verified visitors are permitted entry. They can also be installed in specific zones, such as for server rooms or testing laboratories, ensuring that every individual entering the space needs to submit their credentials.

Introducing a time and attendance system alongside an existing access control system – or implementing both solutions simultaneously – can improve workforce management and security, monitoring access requests for rooms, floors or zones, and automating approvals.

Rather than using separate access controls and clocking-in and out devices, businesses can combine access credentials attributed through biometrics scans or key card chips, where the employee can scan their fob, enter their PIN or pass through biometric security, both confirming their right to enter and logging their entry.
