The advanced Cambridge Clock terminals also let businesses track employee time on specific jobs, as well as department transfers. Employees simply touch a function key and select the new job or department transfer number. Additional data, such as special pay types (vacation, sick time, etc.) and monetary transactions (tips, meals, etc.) can also be captured at the terminal level.

Employees can review information such as their last punch, accumulated hours, or work schedules. They can even receive employee-specific supervisor messages at the terminal. For added convenience, supervisors can review stored punches, add missing punches, bypass restrictions, and credit sick time and other special pay.
