2. Description of the Related Art In a large-scale business establishment where a large number of people work, if the time card is used to manage the attendance of employees, it is necessary to manage the attendance and attendance by counting the working hours. It takes a lot of time to process the necessary data. For this reason, a terminal device provided with a barcode reading slit is provided, and when an ID card carried by an employee passes through this slit, the barcode printed on the ID card should be read together with a signal indicating the time. Detects the time of attendance and leaving for each of the employees. Then, by providing a data processing device, it is proposed to use a time and attendance management system configured to store the time of each employee attendance and attendance, and to perform data processing such as counting the working hours based on the stored time of attendance. ing.

[0003]

In the above-mentioned attendance / leaving management system, the working hours of the employees are different from each other because the establishment has a scale of more than 100 employees and the work is done in three shifts. When applied to such establishments, management of working hours can be managed without any problems.

However, since the data stored in the data processing means is only the time of attendance and leaving for each employee, it becomes necessary to know whether or not any employee is attending to work according to the schedule at any time. In that case, it is necessary to check the work schedule for each employee against the time of attendance,
There has been a problem that the matching takes time.

Further, in order to read the bar code printed on the ID card, it is necessary to move the ID card in one direction along the reading slit of the terminal device. It is in operation. Therefore, the speed of the ID card that moves through the reading slit is different for each employee, and there is a large variation in the speed, so that the bar code reading failure rate is high. Therefore, when the reading fails, the ID card must be moved again along the slit, which causes a problem that it takes time to register the time of attendance.

The present invention was devised to solve the above problems, and an object of the invention of claim 1 is to provide a time and attendance management system capable of simplifying collation of work status and work schedule. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a time and attendance management system capable of simplifying registration of time of attendance and leaving.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the invention according to claim 1 is to provide an ID card indicating the ID code assigned to each employee by a bar code, and reading the ID code from this ID card. The ID card reading means for sending the ID code reading time and the read ID code as work status data, the work status storing means for storing the work status data, and the respective work schedules of the employees are shown. By comparing the work schedule storage unit that stores the work schedule data with the work situation data stored in the work situation storage unit and the work schedule data stored in the work schedule storage unit, the employee can follow the work schedule data. It is configured to include a work collation means for displaying whether or not he is working.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a bar code reading device for reading an ID code by a bar code attached to an ID card, wherein the ID card can be inserted and removed, and the ID card. Is provided with a stopper which, when inserted into the barcode readable position through the insertion slit, comes into contact with the insertion tip and stops the insertion of the ID card.

[0009]

The function of the time and attendance management system of the present invention operates as follows.

That is, in the ID card reading means, the ID
The ID code is read from the card, and the ID code read time and the read ID code are sent as work status data. This work status data is stored in the work status storage means. Further, the work schedule storage means stores work schedule data indicating respective work schedules of the employees.

The work collation means collates the work situation data stored in the work situation storage means with the work schedule data stored in the work schedule storage means, so that the employee works according to the work schedule data. Display whether or not

The bar code reading apparatus of the present invention operates as follows.

That is, when the ID card is inserted from the insertion slit to the bar code readable position, the insertion tip end contacts the stopper and the insertion of the ID card is stopped. In other words, the operation required to read the barcode is the operation of inserting the ID card into the insertion slit, and the reading of the barcode is in the state where the inserted ID card is in contact with the stopper and stopped.
