How to delete employees from HandPunch, and TimeVue software               

You can delete them from the software, or the hand punch, in either order.
They MUST be deleted from both after they leave the company.  Then hand punch is the critical part.
Deleteing them from the time clock software, less-so.  This is how you do it:

From the TimeVue Control panel, select Employees.
Anther way is to select the head photo at the top of the page, print out the employee list from there.
Using a hi-liter, mark every person that is no longer working for you. 

Open up each employees 'employee file', click on their department, then select delete their department assignment (s).
At the top, select the little head with the red "x" next to it. 
This will delete them from your software, and their status will change from Active to Delete Pending. 

Go through the list, do this to all ex-employees.

 Next, go to Time Clocks. select the second circular icon from the right, "Reset all clocks" and then close this screen.
Select Poll Time Clock, run it, polling the clock

Once it is done, you will be prompted to make an archive and remove old punch data. 
Say yes, make the archive, and most importantly, select remove the old punch data.  Accept the default date.
Name the file today's date, like May 15 2018 for example. 
Save it to a folder called Time Clock records, or just to your desktop for now, make the folder later.  Make the folder.

Exit, then restart the software. Poll the clock again, this completes the process and frees up space in your employee list.
This saves the punch records, and updates the employee count in the software. 

At the HandPunch:
Sign in as a supervisor.  Press Clear, then Enter, then your id number, then place your hand.

Press 3 #.  This takes you to the available memory list. It will say List Employees.  Hit yes.  
I believe it will tell you how many employees are currently enrolled in the machine.
Exit this by hitting clear a few times.
Sign back in as a supervisor:  Remember this sequence: Clear then Enter then your ID number, then your hand.

Select (press) 4 # for the function - you normally add employees here.  Go further, to Delete Employees.
Using the employee list, enter their number, follow the prompts to delete them.
You can delete all your ex-employees here, one at a time.  All you need is the number they used to sign in to the clock.

This frees up the employee space on your handpunch.  Exit the program by pressing Clear two or three times. 
If you want, you can go back and check the available memory, by going back in to 3# memory area, above.

If you cannot get in to the HandPunch clock, then you will need to find another enrolled supervisor and try with them.  If that fails, you will need to do a master reset.  We can help you with that.
