Need Employee check-in Software (Secretary's should update it)

Need an Employee check-in Software please. We recently ditched all our old Windows XP machines and bought all Mac Minis.


We used to use MSN Messenger and employees could let everyone knows they are Online, away, sick, vacation etc.

It was easy to use.


Is there a program like that for Mac? ESPECIALLY it would be nice if Secretaries could set statuses for employees who

are out of the office/sick etc and cannot set the status for themselves.


Thank you so much!


Mr Cool

Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

Actually Messenger is effectively discontinued and Skype and Lync are its replacements.


There is VirtualTimeClock (Mac and Windows) but that may not be exactly what the original poster was looking for, see http://www.redcort.com/timeclock/


There is In/Out Board again Mac and Windows but looks like it is not being updated, see http://www.glassbead.com/inoutboard/


There are some which are provided as a SAAS i.e. it is a hosted service you access via a web-browser, I remember seing one a couple of months ago that looked good but I am struggling to find it now.


This might have been the one I was thinking of http://www.teamdf.com/products/tabzon/ looks good and is apparently totally free!

I did say effectively discontinued, see -


http://blogs.skype.com/2012/11/06/skypewlm/


where it says "We will retire Messenger in all countries worldwide in the first quarter of 2013 (with the exception of mainland China where Messenger will continue to be available)."


As per http://money.cnn.com/2013/01/09/technology/social/microsoft-messenger-skype/ the exact date Messenger was discontinued was March 15th 2013.
