Keeping Track of Employee Work Time Using Biometric Employee Tracker Software

Biometric time attendance systems offer accurate tracking of an employee’s work attendance schedule and serve to limit access control. It employs the use of unique physiological and behavioural characteristics upon which an employee’s data is captured. Fingerprints have been one of the most widely used traits for this purpose and recent systems are increasing this range to include voice recognition, iris, Face and hand shape, amongst others. When such personal traits are used to verify the identity of an employee with the aim of verifying their work routines, it is practically impossible to falsify captured data. Similarly, the use of time attendance software is becoming increasingly common in the UK and Chronologic offer a wide range of these low maintenance and efficient time tracking systems at an affordable price.

These systems bear great significance to both the employer and the employee in that they facilitate;
Identity Verification; with the biometric system, an employee cannot clock in for an absent friend, as the system requires bio data to clock in. Unlike the era of cards when one could be clocked in by another, the person accessing the time system has to be the right one. It therefore becomes unfeasible to ‘represent’ a friend at work when they’re actually absent.

Accountability; time attendance systems are conditioned to capture data on every employee, based on pre-stored bio-data. Once an employee reports to work, the system keeps a record of their ‘time-in’ and for the entire time they will be within the firm, it will be recorded as a continuous session up until they check out. They therefore keep a traceable audit trail of all the activities and accompanying transactions an employee is engaged in, as well as the duration during which they were engaged. Once the employees are aware that their hours are automatically recorded, they will tend to engage more in payroll activities.

Convenience; time attendance systems have a high degree of convenience to both the employer and employee. To begin with, they are timeless systems that do not require any passwords or PINs, which reduces the level of vulnerability. As such, they provide a security level of access in that only authorised persons can access designated areas. Moreover, they allow for employees with multiple commitments to work remotely and their work hours be accurately reflected. This means that employees can accomplish their duties from remote locations and get their deserved pay for time spent on firm projects.

Return on Investment; as an employer, it is only fair to incur costs that are genuine and which facilitate more business operations. With older attendance systems, it is possible for employees to man oeuvre their way around and ‘cheat’ the system into capturing more hours than actually worked. This leads to massive wastage of resources, with some employees manipulating the systems while wasting away valuable company time. With the attendance systems from Chronologic, you will only be required to pay earned salaries and wages as accurate data on attendance hours is always available to aid in computing pay.
