Employee Guide for Badge Readers

Some employees may be required to clock in and out using an on-campus time clock badge reader (see locations). 

To clock in or out, hold your Miami ID card so the magnetic stripe is facing away from you and then slide the card in the slot on the right side of the time clock. Your swipe will result in one of the following:

  • If your punch was accepted, the time clock will beep once and the top light on the time clock will turn green. You should also see a message that your time punch was accepted, along with your name, Kronos ID number, the date, and the time.
  • If your punch was not accepted, an error message will appear on the screen, the middle light on the time clock will be orange, and the time clock will beep three times. If this happens, repeat the process of clocking in by swiping your ID again.

Transferring Time

  1. Press the blue button next to More on the time clock screen.
  2. Press the blue button next to Dept, Location, Position.
  3. Enter your transfer information:
    • Time Sheet Org—Enter the department four-digit code.
    • Use the down-arrow button to go to Location and enter 000 (or use the number given to you by your department).
    • Use the down-arrow button to go to Position-Suffix and enter the eight digit position code.
    • Use the down-arrow button to go to Enter Badge ID.
    • Swipe your ID card to clock in.

The screen on the time clock will show your data with an "Accepted" message.

Please note: You do not need to transfer your time when clocking out.
