1. Biometric Time and Attendance Systems Superior to
Traditional Time Clocks
2. The classic time clock which is considered to be a history
now is still found in some workplaces of the country. These
mechanical devices hardly satisfies the users, be it hourly
employees or the managers who are engaged in calculating the output
of work hours.
3. Limitation of traditional time clocks The problem faced by
one and all tradition timekeeping system users is the attendance
fraud or time theft. It is very easy for unethical employees to
corrupt it by marking the in and out for others even when an
employee is not actually present, this form of fraud is called
buddy punching.
4. Whats new? The recent time and attendance system are
reliable as they have fingerprint readers that verify and
authenticate an employees true identity while punching in and out
of the workplace. This power-packed application is simple to use,
employees need to register just once by scanning their fingerprint
using a small reader on the time clock. The encrypted image is
stored as the numerical value which helps in identifying the
employees every time they punch.
5. The Facial recognition time clocks uniquely identify facial
features and then mark the attendance. The time required to punch
in and out is also very less as the employee just has to stand in
front of the device for few seconds so that the face can be
registered.
6. What makes modern biometric time and attendance widely
adopted? The biometric time and attendance system not just verifies
time but also true identity of the employee which is important for
payroll processing and also for maintaining security. The biometric
fingerprint and face recognition are at the cutting edge and is one
of the most reliable ways to collect time and attendance
information which cannot be shared, stolen or manipulated.
Businesses can now track information with just one touch of a
finger.
