That's where a web-based time clock software comes in. The term denotes a system that organizations use to record employees' working hours. Companies are also using biometric security measures to track employee attendance and time. Here...

School children in The Gambia will soon have desperately needed desks and chairs thanks to an initiative from an Exeter primary school.
