The standard Bundy clock has plenty of charm to spare, but it’s hardly a modern time and attendance system. They’re prone to mechanical breakdowns, they need to be re-inked and maintained and of course, there’s no way to be entirely sure that employees aren’t clocking in for each other or if yours is a larger business, if they’re not simply clocking in and slipping out for hours at a time.
No matter what industry you’re in or whether your business is small or large, you can benefit greatly from switching to a new biometric system to keep track of employee time and attendance – and they can even be used as effective access control solutions to make your corporate facilities more secure from thieves and competitors out to steal your valuable trade secrets.
A More Accountable Attendance System
A biometric system uses uniquely identifiable login information for each member of your staff, such as a personal identification code or a fingerprint. When employees arrive for work, they log in to the system and they’re “clocked in” just as they would be if your business used a punch clock. Where this more modern style of time and attendance system differs is in its accountability and traceability.
Employees cannot clock in for one another; and if you’ve integrated a biometric access control system into your facilities as well, employees also cannot slip away while on the clock, since these systems can be configured to require staff to enter their login information to exit the building as well. The end result is an attendance system which provides thoroughly accurate, traceable information on employee time and attendance while also making your office, production plant or other facilities more secure.
Biometric Technology Means Savings
Your company will save in more than one way by adopting this new technology. You’ll save on labor costs by freeing up some of your accounting or human resources staff’s time, since your new time clocks can be integrated with your payroll software to streamline the payroll calculation process. You’ll save by putting a complete stop to time theft, which creates significant losses for many businesses (likely including yours as well). You’ll also save through taking human error out of the payroll process, completely eliminating potentially costly bookkeeping mistakes.
Effective Access Control
Biometric systems can provide a great deal of security for your facilities. You can choose who is permitted to access which parts of your offices or plant – and you’ll be able to track who was where and when. If an incident occurs, you’ll be able to quickly identify who was present and what happened. If you’re in an industry which is intensely competitive, a biometric access control system can be more than an efficient time and attendance system; it can keep your company’s trade secrets out of the hands of your business rivals.
