Assigning Badges
After setting preferences and entering employees and departments into the time
clock, assign proximity badges to your employees. Proximity badges allow your
employees to punch by waving the badge in front of the time clock keypad. If you
choose not to use badges, employees would enter their assigned PIN/badge number
using the time clock keypad.
Benefits to using proximity badges include minimizing buddy punching, quicker
punching in and out, and not having to memorize a PIN.
Badges are assigned using the time clock keypad.
Step 3: Assigning Badges
To assign a badge to employees, follow these steps:
1. Press on the time clock keypad to enter Supervisor Mode.
2. Type your security code. If you are not sure what your code is, try typing the
default security code 00 00 00. If you’ve forgotten your security code, you
can log in to the time clock application and look at the code under Device
Preferences. If you cannot access the time clock application, contact the
Paychex Time and Attendance Support Center.
3. Press to scroll through the options until Assign Badges displays, then
press Enter.
4. The time clock displays Enter ID Number. Use the keypad to enter the
PIN/badge number of the employee you wish to assign the badge, then
press Enter.
5. Wave the proximity badge in front of the time clock keypad. The “5” key is
the optimal location to wave the badge. When the time clock displays
Assigned, the badge is assigned to the employee.
Employees can now use the badge to punch in and out. Repeat the steps above
for each employee using a proximity badge.
