Eliminate manual entry of payroll data with a low cost Card Reader.

Imagine if your HRPay installation "knew" the hours your employees worked at the end of each week and automatically prepared timecards and payslips for your approvalcccc. No keyboard entry, accurate attendance information, and payroll completed in minutes - wouldn't that be great?

Well, now HRPay can do this for you. By installing a low cost Proximity Card Reader and issuing your employees with credit-card sized cards or key-fobs, you can have this type of "big business" system at a "small business" price.

How does it work?

Your employees simply sign in and out by waving the card or key-fob at the reader and the entry and exit times are automatically recorded.

At the end of the week, you simply review the timecards and, if necessary, make any changes you wish before printing the payslip. It couldn't be simpler! All the time & attendance, PAYE, and PRSI or NICs data is automatically saved.

Is it easy to install?

Anybody who can use a screwdriver can install it. No special skills are required. We ship the reader, software, cable, power supply, and pre-registered cards/fobs complete. All that is necessary is to (1) mount the reader on the wall, (2) install the software, (3) connect the reader to your computer, (4) power it up, and (5) tell HRPay which cards are assigned to which employee. No other cabling or electrical work is needed.

Can the Card Reader be connected to our internal network?

Although a direct link using an RS232 cable is the simplest option, if you have a local area network an optional network adapter is available to connect the Card Reader to the network. Please contact us for further details.

My computer doesn't have an RS232 port, can I connect it to a USB port?

No problem, we can supply a USB to RS232 converter.

What happens if we have a power failure?

The reader can store from 1,000 to 50,000 entry and exit records depending on the model. In the event of a power failure, all records are retained and can be downloaded to the computer when power is restored.

Do I have to leave my computer switched on?

No, the reader can work in stand-alone mode and download to the computer whenever it suits you.

What about if an employee leaves, or loses his/her card?

If an employee leaves and surrenders the card, the card can be re-used for another employee. If a card is lost, or not surrendered when an employee leaves, the card can be cancelled. We can supply additional cards, as necessary.

Can the reader be used to open a door?

Yes, the reader can also be used as an access control system and for additional security, you can also specify that a PIN number be entered to gain access. However, we recommend that you use the services of a qualified electrician to connect the reader to an electric door strike as this is not a job that should be done by an unqualified person.

How much does it cost, and what's included?

Three "all-in-one" packages are available to allow you to be up and running immediately:
