Small business owners interested in using a Mac to keep track of employees’ time might be interested in Kinetic Creations’ HourBOSS product, a combination of hardware and software that works as a time clock system. The company is offering an instant rebate through the end of the month, as well.
HourBOSS includes a USB ID card reader and 24 custom ID cards imprinted with employee names and your company’s logo. The software and hardware works with a USB-based Mac to record and report employee hours.
The system includes a database, user-definable shifts, shift scheduling and reports generation, and includes a printed manual that offers users step-by-step instructions for setup and operation.
HourBOSS normally costs US$795, but through the end of August is $695 after a $100 “instant rebate” offered by Kinetic Creations. System requirements for HourBOSS call for a USB-equipped Mac configured with Mac OS X v10.1 or higher, or Mac OS 8.6 or higher. It’s available for order directly from the Kinetic Creations Web site.
