Employees Can Now Clock In With Their Cell Phones
The time clock has always been a gleaming symbol of industry and labor, not to mention a hated personification of 'The Man.' It is the ultimate and definitive report card on productivity, and it's receiving a makeover.
HourDoc has created a system that allows employees to punch in and out of work(and every time they have to urinate, we assume) via text messaging. The premise is simple. There are four basic messages the employee can send:
- In (clocking in)
- Out (clocking out)
- Bin (break/clock in)
- Bout (break/ clock out)
It's a cryin' shame. [From: textually]

what's to stop employees from clocking in before they even get to the office? or not clocking out until they get home.

I would tend to think that it isn't used for when someone goes to the bathroom, but when they have to clock in or out while driving to a remote location so they wouldn't have to go to the company HQ and clock in--they could just do it via cell phone and not waste the gas money running around like a chicken. It all comes down to whether you trust your employees or not, I guess...
