Businesses must track employee attendance to keep accurate payroll records, calculate benefits, or adhere to labour regulations. But the task of tracking attendance is often very labour-intensive for everyone involved. As a result, many employers choose biometric time clocks to track employee attendance and manage payroll amounts.

What is a biometric time clock?

A biometric time and attendance system consist of a clock that tracks the physical characteristics of people when they clock in or out. There are several types of biometric time clocks that use different types of data that can comprise fingerprints, vascular patterns, voice recognition and iris patterns.

The benefits of using a biometric attendance system

• Eliminates time fraud 

Biometric systems are much more secure than ID cards or pin codes as employees must physically check themselves in and out for the time to be validated on the system.

• Streamlined handovers 

Biometric systems can process employee data very fast and efficiently, helping to speed up the process and bypass lengthy queues.

• Saving time

It usually takes a lot of time for HR and payroll teams to process attendance records and check these against employee records. Biometric attendance systems automate most of this work by syncing data in real-time. This saves valuable time and reduces HR and payrolls teams’ tasks.

• Accuracy of records 

Biometric time systems help to guarantee the precision of your records by reducing the risk of human error and fraud. It also allows every department access to reliable data.
