DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a time clock system developed for irregular employees such as part-timers and part-time workers.
Register the work schedule of each employee in advance,
The present invention relates to a time recorder system with a schedule management function devised so that a work schedule on a work applicable day can be created based on the registered schedule.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a supermarket or a store that uses a large number of irregular employees, the number of employees is changed according to various conditions such as changes in the number of customers depending on the day of the week, date, or time of day. The arrangement and the allocation are predicted in advance based on the data, and the number of employees and the time of attendance / departure are adjusted according to the prediction, thereby streamlining management.

On the other hand, irregular employees who have students or housewives as their main members are
It is impossible at all to manage all employees with the same working time system because work hours when they are free, that is, work schedules vary.

Accordingly, the present applicant has filed a Japanese Patent Application No. Hei 2-10793.
No. 3 (JP-A-4-5785) and Japanese Patent Application No. 2-112.
No. 584 (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 4-10093), a scheduling time recorder and a time recorder system with a self-report function have been developed which enable the work schedule of the irregular working employee to be rationally created.

[0005] According to the former scheduling time recorder, employees can input and register the work schedule of each person in advance on a weekly or monthly basis by operating keys of the time recorder, and the latter time recording system with a self-report function. Then, the daily work schedule can be registered for each work division by the mark sheet method, and the administrator can check the work schedule of each person and check the work schedule of each person. It is a mechanism to rationalize management by adjusting etc.

[0006]

However, in each of the above-described scheduling time recorder and time recorder system with a self-report function, each employee self-reports his / her own work schedule according to his / her convenience, and the self-reported schedule is added to the schedule. Depending on the day of the week and the time of day, many employees compete and there may be excess staff, and on the contrary, the number of employees registered and declared may be small and hinder sales. There was a problem that the number and arrangement of employees could not be adjusted correctly according to the actual situation of work.

[0007] In the former scheduling time recorder, a man-powered key is used to input a scheduled work date or time. Therefore, if this input operation is performed for all employees, it is very troublesome and takes a considerable amount of time. In addition, in the case of the latter time recorder system with a self-report function, the work schedule is set to a work division unit (for example, 8:00 to 15:00). Since the work is declared and input in a working time zone where the time is predetermined), there is a problem that it is not possible to create a detailed work schedule in units of hours, such as from what time to what time according to the convenience of the employee.

[0008] Therefore, a technical problem of the present invention is that an administrator can create a work schedule on the day of work in advance based on a work schedule that each employee has self-declared. It is necessary to be able to notify the relevant employees and to easily and accurately input the report of the work schedule by each employee in a time unit from time to time.

[0009]

Means taken by the present invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problems are as follows. In a time recorder system configured such that the printer prints the employment data calculated according to the insertion of the time card in the employment print column of the time card and stores it in the data memory of each person.

[0010] (1) A card user ID code is provided, and a workable time zone is displayed by a bar mark for each date column displayed on a weekly or monthly basis by a bar mark.
It should be configured using a registration card for work schedule , which has a bar mark entry field printed horizontally .

(2) Reading means for reading from the inserted registration card the ID code of the card user and the bar mark displayed in a line segment of the workable time zone which is entered for each date column. Personal data storage means for storing, in the data memory of each person, a weekly or monthly work schedule of each person constituted by the read ID code and the bar mark; A schedule data calling means for retrieving the work schedules of each person who has been set up and calling only the schedule data of those who can work on the applicable work day from the work schedule schedules on the screen; Schedule setting means for collecting necessary data selected from the above and creating a work schedule for the applicable work day, and a work schedule created It is constituted by using a time recorder equipped with a work instruction data storing means for storing in the data memory for managing Lumpur as work instruction data.

(3) When the work data is stamped and printed on the time card, if the work instruction data stored in the management data memory includes the schedule data of the card user, A message notifying means for calling the work instruction data from the data memory and displaying it on a display device is provided.

(4) A printing means for printing out the work instruction data called from the data memory in accordance with a key operation.

[0014]

The above means operates as follows. The above (1)
In According to the means described, the work schedule schedule of each person weekly or monthly basis, the segment display that by the entry of the bar mark
Time for every date I'm in the unit (for example, 10: 00-14:
00), it is possible to easily and accurately set a detailed work schedule according to each person's convenience.

According to the means described in the above (2), the line segment table
In the indicated registration card that bar mark is entered only plugged to the time clock, work planned schedule of each person weekly or monthly basis can easily be registered, also, mosquitoes for registration
When reading the code, the bar mark
By reading the work schedule can be read
Simplicity with a relatively simple reader
And accurate reading. Further, the manager calls only the schedule of those who can work on the applicable work day from the registered work schedules on the screen, and displays only the data suitable for work from the called schedule data. Since the work schedule is extracted and the work schedule of the work day is created in advance, the work of the employee is not biased to a specific date or time zone, and the work schedule can be reasonably created without waste.

According to the means described in the above (3), when printing the working time on the time card, the work schedule (work instruction data) created by the manager is displayed on the display to notify the card user. Therefore, there is no need to notify each person of the work schedule using a communication form, etc., and it is possible to accurately inform each person of the contents of the work schedule without mistakes such as forgetting to notify. .

According to the means described in (4) above, since the work schedule (work instruction data) is notified to each person by printing, the work schedule can be mistaken by accurately transmitting the work schedule to each person. It is possible to reduce as much as possible.
As described above, the technical problems described above can be solved by the above means, and the problems of the conventional technology can be solved.
