This is a photograph of a time clock and a notice board in an office space. The image shows an old-fashioned time clock with a round dial used for punching in time cards. Next to the time clock is a prominently displayed sign that reads, "YOU MUST SIGN YOUR TIME CARD OR YOU RECEIVE NO CREDIT FOR DAY'S WORK. (NOTE: ANY PERSON PUNCHING ANOTHER PERSON'S TIME CARD WILL BE SUBJECT TO IMMEDIATE DISMISSAL)." In the background, behind a partition, a bulletin board is visible with several notices and papers pinned to it.
