Attendance recording for staff up to 15 times faster than swipe systems

Approximately 540 staff at Maltby Colliery, near Rotherham, were issued with redundancy notices last month. It is planned that the deep coal pit will be closed in the near future. When the notices were handed out in October, the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) stated members would “work hard” to ensure the pit remained open. NUM branch secretary at Maltby, Dave Price, added that miners would make the Colliery “as difficult as possible for these people to shut”.

A complete Smart Card Time and Attendance System comprising a T32xx Smart Card clocking station plus smart cards can be purchased from Time and Attendance North East. The software includes all the features to manage time and attendance recording for staff. Smart Cards use proximity reading technology, where the badge does not have to be removed from a wallet or purse. The badge will read through your wallet or purse in ¼ second – up to 15 times faster than swipe systems and more reliable.
