Q. We have a Vetro clock, and I recently ordered additional iButtons. There are no serial numbers on the iButtons I received. How do I assign them to employees without the serial numbers?
A. To assign iButtons with the Vetro clock, please follow the steps below:
1. Open TimePilot Central and log in. Add any new profiles/remove old profiles from your software by clicking Setup > Profile Setup. When you are finished, click Setup > Vetro Data Manager or Clock Manager (which option you see depends upon your version of the software).
2. Insert your USB drive into the computer, then right-click on the image of your clock and select USB Functions > Transfer Employee Setup. When prompted, remove the USB drive from the computer and insert into your clock.
3. Press 99 > OK > your 6-digit password > menu item 3 ("Read USB Drive"). The clock will download the new profiles from the drive. When it's finished, remove USB drive.
4. Now press menu item 4 ("Assign iButtons"). Scroll using the up/down arrows on the clock, and when you come to an employee who needs an iButton, tap their iButton to the IN probe. You will see the iButton's ID number appear on the screen. Scroll and repeat for anyone else.
5. When you're finished, press OK to go back to the main menu. Insert your USB drive into the clock again and press menu item 1 ("Collect Data"). The clock will load the iButton numbers and names onto the USB drive. When the process is finished, remove the USB drive and insert it into your computer to finish the synchronization process.
Q. How does the employee's profile get into the Tap clock for it to recognize who is clocking in or out?
A. Actually, the Tap clock has no idea who's clocking in. It's essentially a recording device. When someone clocks in or out, their iButton number is recorded in the Tap's memory. When the Tap is plugged into a PC running TimePilot Central, the data in the clock is downloaded into the database and the software matches up the iButton number with the employee's name. The Extreme Blue clocks work the same way. Vetro clocks are different: They "know" the employee's name, because they have to display it on their LCD screen when he or she clocks in or out.
Science says...: A four-day workweek—with a three-day weekend—is better for employees and employers. Multiple experiments show that people can only do up to five hours of concentrated, meaningful work. The rest of the time is just wasted on:
- Emails: The average employee checks his inbox 36 times an hour.
- Meetings: Employees waste 31 hours in unproductive meetings a month.

It's a sophisticated form of radio with a range of about 32 feet (10 meters). When you connect your iPhone to the audio system in your car, your phone broadcasts a radio signal that your car receives. When you sync the fitness band on your wrist to your Android phone, the band emits a radio signal that your phone receives. The trick is to make sure that no one else receives that signal—or else you'll be listening to the Metallica song the guy in the next car is listening to instead of your audio book.

Every once in a while, our employees come across “cool stuff.”
This is where they share their finds.
