2. Description of the Related Art A time clock that is widely used at present is a stand-alone type (non-online type) card stamping type time clock, and a plurality of time cards (hereinafter referred to as "time cards") identified by optical means. (Referred to simply as "cards"). The main function of such a conventional time clock is to stamp and record clock-in and clock-out times (acting on a card and storing it in a time clock) on a card, and store and record clock-in and clock-out times for each card. It calculates and prints working hours, overtime hours, and the like. In addition, the hourly wage and the like according to the card (the grade of the worker using the card, etc.) are stored, and the salary is automatically calculated based on the hourly wage, working hours, and work on holidays (special days), and the card is calculated. It can be printed out and made available to employees. The time clock is characterized in that not only the user but also the employee can check his / her work status every day by printing the time of attendance and departure on a card, which is widely used.

[0003] An "electronic time clock system" disclosed in JP-A-51-135716 has been conventionally known. The technique disclosed in the publication includes one master unit and a plurality of slave units connected to the master unit, and transmits data on the clocked in / out times stamped by each slave unit to the master unit. . The master unit outputs the time and attendance data transmitted from the plurality of slave units as a separately provided perforated tape or magnetic tape for computer input for compiling the time and attendance data, and manages the time and attendance by processing the data with the electronic computer. It is to improve efficiency. As still another conventional example, a system is known in which a large company or the like connects time clocks installed at a plurality of business offices online and manages attendance and departure with a central management computer. In this case, the time stamp is not printed on a card made of paper.
Processing is performed using a magnetic card such as a D card (employee card), an IC card, or the like.

By the way, identification information is formed on a plurality of cards used in the time clock, and by identifying the identification information, each card is associated with each employee. Therefore, when an employee makes a stamp using another person's card or makes a mistake in stamping, for example, when he or she forgets to stamp, it is necessary to correct this.
