A mechanical or electromechanical device used for documenting employees’ work hours in the United Arab Emirates. These systems traditionally involve physical time cards, which individuals insert into the recorder to stamp the time of arrival and departure. This offers a tangible record of attendance.
The utilization of these devices in the UAE provides a straightforward and often cost-effective solution for tracking labor hours, particularly in environments where digital infrastructure may be limited or when simpler methods are preferred. Historically, this approach offered a direct method for calculating payroll and ensuring accountability regarding employee presence.
