Method and apparatus for timekeeping

摘要

For reporting, recording, and/or employee timekeeping, an exemplary time manager interface on a display of a communications device allows an employee to track his or her work time and activities. The time manager interface connects the employee to a central time manager system that tracks and records employee check-in and check-out times. The time manager interface may also permit employees to view their and other schedules. The time manager interface is able to compensate for the time spent initially connecting to the network and launching the interface by recording the network logon time as the check-in time when the difference between the network logon time and the actual reported time is below a predetermined threshold.

1. A method comprising:
at a communications device, receiving an employee check-in time using an interface of the communications device; connecting to a communications network after receiving the employee check-in time; determining via a processor a time difference between a time at which the communications device gained network connectivity to the communications network and the employee check-in time; and in response to determining the time difference is less than a predetermined threshold, recording the network connectivity time as the employee check-in time.
