          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.
