TimePilot PC
The core of TimePilot PC is the “virtual meclock”
(shown at right). This clock appears on your
employees’ computer desktop, allowing them to clock
in and out right at their PC. The clock-in and clock-
out data is collected on the PC or at your server and
can be manipulated by supervisors using TimePilot
Central.
TimePilot PC ships with fi ve licenses, which means the
“virtual clock” can be installed on up to fi ve employee
PCs. Any number of employees can clock in and out
at those PCs. Addi onal licenses are inexpensive, so
you could have dozens of employees clocking in and
out right at their desks. (Need more licenses? You can
order them at the TimePilot web site, www.TimePilot.
com.)
