Hi,
I would like to share the following interesting history. In the early '70s and '80s (1970 and 1980), long before computers were introduced in factories, there used to be a separate section called the TIME OFFICE. It was headed by the timekeepers who had assistant timekeepers.
Typically, in large factories with more than 500 employees, there was a master clock at the entrance with a slot to insert a thick paper card containing the employee code, department, and name.
After inserting the card, the employee had to physically press a lever attached to the clock, which would then record the time at which the card was punched. This process occurred two to four times a day (shift entry, lunch break, shift re-entry after lunch break, and end of shift).
The assistant timekeepers would collect the cards daily, mark attendance, note absences accordingly, and add this information to the monthly attendance report for the separate payroll department.
They would also physically mark leave, absence, time off, holiday, early departure, and late arrival on the punch card using a rubber stamp or handwritten notes.
Each master clock had a large steel cupboard with card slots for storing the cards, secured with a lock and key arrangement.
Managing this entire process was the responsibility of the time office. Once a week, the timekeeper would set the master clock for accurate timing.
During that time, there was no software available, and the use of identity cards was rare.
Kind regards,
