Abstract: A time and/or attendance system is provided which includes a service location. The service location has a server with a first periodically changing random code that is correlated with actual time. A device displaying a second periodically changing random code is located at a selected location. The second periodically changing random code has the same sequence as the first periodically changing random code but the code being displayed on the device is offset in time from the first periodically changing random code. An employee who is expected to provide services at the selected location notes the second periodically changing random code at the beginning of an event at the selected location. Thereafter, the employee notes the second periodically changing random code at the end of the event at the selected location. After leaving the selected location, the employee communicates both the beginning code and the ending code to the service location.

Abstract: A method and system for verifying that an employee and a client are present at a single location. A telephonic communications channel is established between the single location and a location verification system provider. Data is received at the system provider, from the employee over the telephonic communication channel. Data is received, at the system provider, from the client over the telephonic communication channel. The client data is separate from the employee data. The identity of the employee and the client are verified through a comparison of the employee data and the client data to preexisting data located in a database. A determination is made whether or not the employee and the client are present at the single location in response to the step of identifying.

Abstract: A computer-based system is provided for collecting data from callers, including a customer's database corresponding to a customer's Dialed Number Identification Service (DNIS) and in which system the caller has an identification code. When a call is received, the DNIS is detected and is compared with the customer's database to determine the data to collect during the call. If a caller identification code is required, then the caller identification code is obtained and the caller identification code is compared, via the computer, with a check digit algorithm without referencing a caller identification code database. After the call is terminated, a call record is created for the received call.
