Following in the footsteps of the earlier version, it offers one-touch time and attendance tracking by employee’s fingerprints and eliminates buddy punching, swipe cards and badges. The new version is upgradeable to 6000 employees for the Ethernet version and 150 for the USB version. It can export with most major payroll systems and calculates overtime, sick and vacation pay automatically. [end]
