Appeal No. 96-2190 Application 08/287,758 can be used for flexitime. A time counting circuit counts current time and calendar information. An input keypad is used to input the number of hours which must be worked within a determined period, for example a month. A control circuit comprising a CPU, ROM, RAM, etc., generates data of the remaining required work hours that an employee must work in the determined period as the employee works different hours during the determined period. This is calculated by subtracting the completed work hours within the determined period from the required work hours. Representative claim 1 is reproduced as follows: 1. A time recorder comprising: setting means for setting required work hours which must be worked by an employee within a determined period which is greater than one day; output means for determining remaining required work hours to be worked by said employee within said determined period by subtracting finished work hours worked within said determined period from said required work hours; and informing means for: providing an indication of said remaining required work hours in said determined period, and providing an indication of any overtime hours worked which is greater than said set required work hours in said determined period. -2-Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
