Design for a time clocking app

I have been tasked with designing the server side application for a time clocking app. The application is supposed to keep track of when employees resume work each day and when they leave. The bottleneck I am experiencing is that the device for clocking in and clocking out is a fingerprint scanner and only one device is supposed to manage the two actions. For the sake of calculations and all, I intend to keep both data on their individual tables however I do not know how to. In one solution, I intend to create a single endpoint which when called will check if the employee has checked in for that day and then move the log to a different table or if I should keep the data on one table and just do my computations of clock in and clock out.
P.S. I do not also know if the device can be programmed with multiple endpoints.
