In the United States and around the world, individuals rely on time. We rely on time for work, scheduled appointments, every day tasks, telling us when it’s daytime and nighttime, and sleep. Without time, all days would melt into one another, and no one would be able to create schedules and order within their lives. Time is also important for those who own a business. Time assists with employees, time-sheets, and the going ons of the day. In fact, in the United States alone, the economy loses around $7.4 billion dollars per day; that’s 50 million hours, due to individuals filling out time sheets improperly. Needless to say, time integrates itself in a lot of industries, tasks, and concepts throughout the United States. If you are a business owner, here is information you should know about different types of clocks; a network clock, and a wifi clock.

Network Clock

Let’s begin with network clocks. For the business owner, it is important to know information about a network time clock and how it can best assist you. First, a network clock is simply defined as “a clock network or clock system is a set of synchronized clocks designed to always show exactly the same time by communicating with each other.” In other words, a network clock is a synchronized clock. A network clock, and the surrounding clocks all display the same time, at exact the correct moment. Therefore, if you look from one clock to the other, there would be no differences or discrepancies in time.

Identical Or Uniform: A network clock is beneficial to you as a business owner. This is because from room to room, or space to space, all of your clocks will be identical. Some individuals refer to this as uniform. This ensures that not only yourself, but your employees from all different areas of your business will all see the same time. Seeing the same time is important, because employees will need to clock in and out of your business. With uniform clocks, they can all do so easily, get paid the fair amount of money, and your business can thrive. In other words, one employee will not be paid more than the other, by clocking on a different time that’s recorded. Instead, everything will be fair and this is because your network clock is identical in each space in your business.

The Task Of Fixing Clocks: Another benefit of a network clock that is worth mentioning is, you will not have to uphold the grueling tasks of fixing clocks. This fixing of clocks is to make sure not one single clock is off, whether that is by hours, seconds, and minutes. This could take some time, going around fixing the clocks in your business. It also has the potential to take you away from your duties. Therefore, with a network clock, you will not have this grueling task, you will not be taken away from your duties, and you can use this extra time to better your business.

Document Changes: With a network clock, there will be what is referred to as the master clock. This clock will document any changes that may take places with clocks. For example, when daylight savings time occurs. After documentation, the master clock will communicate with the other network clock or clocks, and all of them will be synchronized. This is certainly a benefit for your business!

WifI Clock

Another clock that could be potentially beneficial for your business is a wifi clock. Some of these benefits are different than a network clock, too!

Place It Anywhere: You can place a wifi clock anywhere within your business space! On walls, on tables, on counters, you name it! As long as you are connected to wifi and there is a wifi signal, your clock will work! This is beneficial because you do not have to worry about the location of your clock.

Reporting Of Time: With wifi clocks, the reporting of time will be quick because of the wifi connection, as well as accurate. You don’t have to worry about slow time telling!
