No, I’ve never used an analog time clock like that. At one of my first jobs, we had ID cards with a mag strip that had to be swiped on the digital time clock at the beginning and end of every shift.

When I was a substitute teacher, I would only be paid for jobs I accepted (obviously), and the school office manager would log time in and time out, or if it was a newer building they would have the same swipe card setup for hourly and casual staff.

Now that I have a long term teaching position, I’m on salary and haven’t had to deal with those machines in a few years. Thank goodness. I just show up before the first bell and leave when I’m done at the end of the day, without that extra step.

I can’t see the video since it’s not available in Canada, apparently 😂

There IS one at my work. I've never seen anyone use it and I don't think it works. The owner just writes our in and out times on a piece of paper and throws it into a spreadsheet at the end of the day.

I've never used a timeclock, but when I was in grad school (1982), I did a summer internship with a company which manufactured stamped metal products. The workers on the factory floor all had timecards. WOW! that was 40 years ago.

26 years ago I used one like the one above & I thought that was the coolest & my pay check was never wrong if anyone questioned it the boss would hand you the time card & tell you to add up the hours.

I've never used a punch card/clock. Always filled out a time sheet that my boss approved. That's probably because I have always worked in an office on multiple projects.

[call_me_scar]

Nope I just put in a 4 digit code in the cash register

[Static_In_The_Attic]

I wish my system at work was that easy.

[call_me_scar]

Maybe break the old system to force them to upgrade

[Static_In_The_Attic]

From time to time the clock breaks & all building maintenance does is bring out a new one & it is the same system. For 15 years it has been the same & in every building I go to they have the same system as well.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

No not now, but have certainly used ones like that years and years ago lol

[zagor]

No, though I've had to fill a timesheet out online.

[NathanDavis]

I would... but my purple dino, broke it...

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Is that Barney?

[NathanDavis]

[Flower7]

No and I’ve never even seen one before.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

On one of my first summer jobs I had one & I remember on Friday my boss handed me his time card & told me to punch him out at 3:30 & after that about ten other people handed me their cards as well. I was the puppy in the group I was 14 at the time.

[sammyyyyasdfghjkl]

No but my mum does lmao

[sammyyyyasdfghjkl]

What for? Dont ask me I don't know lmao its just in her room

[Static_In_The_Attic]

I’m not going to ask on this one but if you find out why drop me a line.

[scott04sa22]

I use my phone to clock in

[Static_In_The_Attic]

That is cool & can you punch in from home?

[Likes2drive]

Haven’t used one like that in 25 years

[Static_In_The_Attic]

That sounds about right & the last time I used one was 26 years go.

[moonpie89]

No. Everything is digital now a days

[Static_In_The_Attic]

It’s funny they have digital punch times clocks nowadays that use the same kind of punch card where it inks the time on the card. On my job we enter a five digit job number & we swipe a credit card looking card with our employee info on it.

[Agape93]

Nope ours is electronic

[FunkyMonkee]

We had them at my second to last job 7 years ago.

[Waldoe]

retired for over 10 years... so who cares... lol

[EnglishEuropean]

Not in the last 40 years.

[legalboxers]

what the actual fuck

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Exactly & back in the day I’m sure you used one. I used one when I was 14 working a summer job when I got my working papers.

[legalboxers]

@Static_In_The_Attic had a boss who tried that.. failed miserably!

[DaveToo]

Not since 1980
