Talk:Time and attendance/Archive 1
I think this page looks like an advertisement for PAYX.
The term "Time and Attendance" is a generic term used in gathering payroll info.
I don't think this link paragraph about PAYX and link to their website is appropriate.
I added networking paragraph and link. Please review. Thanks. (Teman 20:36, 30 December 2006 (UTC))
would it be appropriate to mention or contain links to common companies in the industry
[edit]Here are some items that should be mentioned if for no other reason than further research
Simplex Time Recorder Company - Created the first commercial timeclock. (note: Simplex aquired by Tyco and merged with Grinnell creating Simplex-Grinnell that sold the time and attendance division to Kronos Inc.
Mention and maybe links to the following companies that are major players in the industry: Cincinatti/Amano (primarily punch clocks) ,Kronos (by far the larges provider of high end automated attendance in the US) ,Infotronics ,Synel ,Acroprint (primarily punch clocks) ,Peoplesoft

[edit]I don't agree that commercial interests should be mentioned, as they refer to North American companies only. There are larger European and Asian companies active in the same field and, whilst not well known in North America, they have a larger presence in their respective territories than the companies previously listed. The mention of commercial interests in a specific geographic region points to a bias by the article author(s), somewhat against the point of Wikipedia.org.
