Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention is suitable for use in managing the time of persons in different positions (types) such as full-time employees and part-timers or teachers and students in a school. Time management device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a time management device for managing the working hours of employees, the acceptance time is stored according to the insertion of a time card, and based on the working time system of each employee registered in advance, the working hours, There is an intelligent time recorder that is configured to calculate irregular times such as overtime hours, late hours, early leave, etc., store them in each person's memory, and print out the calculated data on a time card as needed. Since this kind of time recorder stores various data in the memory of each person as described above, it is necessary to increase the memory capacity of the memory as the number of processing persons increases, especially for work management and payroll calculation. In the case of the time recorder which is performed together, there is a problem that the price of the recorder is increased because the storage capacity of each individual is further increased.

Therefore, conventionally, for example, for a part timer that requires time calculation, the above-mentioned intelligent time recorder is used to manage the time, and for regular employees who do not need time calculation, the card insertion time is set. Mark (print)
By using a low-priced time recorder that does only the above, the burden on the memory is reduced as much as possible, and the size increase and price increase of the intelligent time recorder are suppressed as much as possible.

[0004]

However, if different time recorders are used depending on the type of employee as described above, the time card may be inserted into the wrong time recorder, and its operation and management are extremely difficult. In addition to being troublesome to use and having different time recorders, there is also a work problem that causes misunderstanding or prejudice between the part-timer and the regular employee and destroys the atmosphere of the workplace. A proper solution was desired.

Therefore, the technical problem of the present invention is to manage different types of time management such as a regular employee and a part-timer.
It is to be realized inexpensively and accurately with a single time recorder.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems] Means taken in the present invention for solving the above technical problems are as follows. In the time management method of identifying the ID recorded on the time card and printing the insertion time in the print field of the time card, (1) the specific ID predetermined from the inserted time card When read, the number of hours is calculated, the insertion time and the number of hours are printed on the time card, and the stamping information and the calculation result are stored in the memory of each ID, while the above-mentioned identification is performed from the inserted time card. If the ID cannot be read, print only the card insertion time on the time card.

In the time management device configured to identify the ID recorded on the time card and print the insertion time in the print field of the time card, (2) specify a specific ID, and , The ID specifying means for storing this ID in the memory, the print field specifying means for specifying the print field when inserting the time card, and the time card when the specific ID is recorded A specific ID processing unit that calculates the number, prints the insertion time and the number of hours on the time card, and stores the stamping information and the calculation result in the memory of each ID, and records an ID other than the above specific ID. When the time card is inserted, a non-specific ID processing means for printing only the card insertion time in the designated print field when inserting the time card.

(3) Similarly, in the time management device, an ID specifying means for designating the first and second IDs and storing these IDs in a memory, and a time for recording the first ID. When the card is inserted, the number of hours is calculated, the insertion time and the number of hours are printed on the time card, and the embossing information and the calculation result are stored in the memory of each ID. When a time card recording the ID of 2 is inserted, a second ID processing means for printing only the card insertion time in the next printing field of the already printed printing field of the time card, and this time printing of the time card. And a print field storage means for storing the time print field.

(4) Furthermore, when the time card is inserted, a print field designating means for designating a print field and a print field of the time card are designated by the print field designating means. And a print column priority designating unit configured to designate the print column with priority over the print column position information designated by inserting the time card.

[0010]

The above means operates as follows. The element of (1) above is such that when the specified ID specified is recorded in the time card, time calculation is performed and the number of hours is printed and stored together with the card insertion time.
When D is not recorded, only the card insertion time is printed without performing the above time calculation. Therefore, the presence or absence of this specific ID makes the difference between the position of a part-timer and a permanent employee clear, and the memory storage It is possible to manage different time with one time recorder without increasing the capacity.

The element of (2) above can print in the designated print field of the time card even if there is no individual storage area other than the designated specific ID, so that the person who does not need to calculate the number of hours ( Permanent employees) can be managed economically without additional memory.

The element of (3) above is the second specific ID
When is recorded on the time card, the last embossing position is stored and the print field for this time is automatically determined, and the card insertion time can be printed in this determined print field. If the designated ID of is for a part-timer and the second designated ID is for a regular employee, the time management of both can be realized with one time recorder, and the time management of a regular employee who does not need time calculation is minimal. It can be realized economically only by adding the storage capacity of.

The element of the above (4), when printing the card insertion time of a person (permanent employee) who does not need time calculation, determines the printing column by either the printing column designation method or the last time stamp position information method. Also allows you to do by. 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.
