Biometric time clocks are an advance over the traditional PUNCH IN or PUNCH OUT systems. As biometric time clock technology has become more affordable, biometric hand-reader and fingerprint scanning solutions now offer an attractive alternative to conventional time & attendance recorders.
The main benefit of biometric time clocks and attendance systems is that they help to reduce errors from processing inaccurate employee time cards and eliminate so-called "buddy punching" where one employeee punches the time clock for another employee.
It is an efficient system because there are no cards to create, administer, carry - or lose. A handprint system typically verifies employees' identities in less than one second, based on the unique size and shape of their hands.
You can expect a biometric time clock to provide a quick return on investment because it eliminates the costs associated with administrating and managing cards. For companies that have small, multiple locations, minimal supervision means there is opportunity for buddy punching and time fraud.
However with a biometric system one employee can't punch for the other. Time fraud is eliminated thereby reducing payroll costs and increasing the company's bottom line.
The manufacturers of biometric time clock systems include ATRx who offer solutions featuring biometric fingerprint and handprint technology.
