Abstract From the Canadian patent

A parameter-driven time-and-attendance analysis system that includes one or more data entry stations for entering user time and attendance data and a central processor, coupled to the data entry stations for receiving and evaluating the user time and attendance data. The central processor includes facility for identifying exception data indicative of non-standard time and attendance data, and for assigning event points to such exception data based upon character of the exception data. Such event points are accumulated for each system user and a report is automatically generated when accumulated event points for a system user reach a preselected level.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed January 29, 1997 and granted October 24, 2000. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended January 29, 2017.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by January 29, 2019.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
