Abstract
A time and attendance biometric terminal communicates with a payroll system via general packet radio service (GPRS) protocol. The biometric terminal may be remotely activated and set up by entry of its serial number and an internal activation token, which are both supplied after payment information is first entered and verified. Payroll stubs may be printed at a facsimile machine or at a remote printer by the steps of identifying a person, communicating with a payroll database to obtain payroll information for the identified person, communicating the payroll information for the identified person to the remote printer, and printing the obtained payroll information at the facsimile machine or at the remote printer as a payroll stub.
