Sounds like a Timecard type of system.

Are you testing both hardware and software?

For Software I'd suggest test cases that cover the following:

o Time In and Time Outs that span hour boundaries, as well as days, also need to test December 31 / Jan 1, and Leap Year.

o Mismatched Time In / Time Out pairings (ex. 2 Time Ins before the next Time Out)

o Accuracy of system is crucial, so lots of scenarios around making sure Time spans are recorded correctly, and result in proper calculation.

o In the United States we have Daylight Savings, which creates special types of testing scenarios. If that's applicable, then need to test all the permutations of time changes.

So I'd concentrate on tests of the systems accuracy of establishing Time Spans and making sure the right values are making it to the calculation engine, since time spent on the job is core to hourly based pay.
