MacPractice Time Clock

MacPractice has a reputation for being the premier practice management and clinical software solution for doctors who want to use Apple technology. And from the MacPractice customers I routinely interact with, it appears to be well deserved. Redcort Software has a lot in common with the developers of MacPractice. For example:

  • We've both been using Apple technology for over 25 years.
  • We both listen carefully to our customers so we can add features that make sense based on our long experience in our respective areas of expertise. 
  • We both provide full-time world class technical support and product specialists that have been in our respective niches for a long time.

So if you're looking for a Mac time clock to compliment your MacPractice MD, MacPractice DDS, MacPractice DC, or MacPractice 20/20 software, look no further than Virtual TimeClock.

When Is Memorial Day 2013?

Memorial Day is a federal holiday that always occurs on the last Monday in May, which this year is May 27. It's a day to remember the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. It originated after the American Civil War to pay tribute to both the Union and Confederate soldiers who died in the war. For many people, Memorial Day marks the beginning of summer vacation and Labor Day marks the end of it.

Some people confuse Memorial Day with Veterans Day. Memorial Day is set aside to remember the men and women who died while serving. Veterans Day is set aside to celebrate the service of all United States military veterans, both living and dead.

Find the dates of all 2013 federal holidays and other free time and attendance resources on our website.

Tracking Student Attendance

Most businesses use time clock software to help manage employee hours worked. It's an easy and efficient way to hold employees accountable for each work day, to control labor costs by reducing overtime, and to keep track of vacation and sick pay. Some businesses use Virtual TimeClock just because they love the in & out board interface which makes it so easy to keep track of what staff is working on and who's off and on site. Still others use it to track time spent on different jobs and projects so they know how much labor time to bill customers. We also have quite a few schools using Virtual TimeClock to track student attendance, especially for schools specializing in adult education or career training.

Here's how it works. You can install Virtual TimeClock on a computer in the classroom. Students can select their name from the list and clock in with a passcode. If you're concerned about confidentiality, then use the time clock PIN interface so students can clock in and out without seeing the names of the other students. At the end of the semester, the instructor can run a summary report that automatically totals the hours of the students. This information is invaluable for seeking government funding, reporting grant expenditures, or just making sure students are meeting the minimum hours needed to meet the class requirements.

You can check out a list of some of the schools that use our time clock software on our website.
