The best way to track the time and attendance of your business is to use an automated attendance system. Automating employee attendance provides your business with timely reporting and historical information to trace attendance patterns. It also eliminates much of the entry and computation errors of the manual system. It is therefore easier for business owners to measure efficiency and for employees to be assured of the accuracy of their attendance.

Electronic Time Clocks

Now, it is so much easier to automate time and attendance for your business, whether big or small. With the arrival of electronic time clocks, you can do away with manual time cards and throw away those traditional bundy clocks.

The market offers a wide array of electronic time clocks that automatically calculate the hours, overtime and off-time pay of every employee. These new and powerful attendance clocks present a very convenient system to manage your hourly labor.

However, even electronic time clocks are not immune to employees punching in or out for one another. To eliminate this practice and for an even more accurate collection of payroll data, you may want to get a biometric time clock.

Biometric Time Clocks

Biometric time clocks are electronic time clocks attached to hand scanners that use magnetic stripe or barcode outputs to send employees’ ID numbers to the clocks. Employees enter data into the electronic time clock after “punching in” at the hand scanner using either their hand or finger. The scanner, which is connected to a data bank, cross-checks the authenticity of the scanned body part with information stored in the data bank. This eliminates the practice of "buddy punching" in an efficient and cost-effective way.

Aside from keeping time and attendance, biometric time clocks serve another purpose: security. If you have trade secrets or are simply conscious about security, you need to get a biometric time clock. With it, you can verify the identities of people seeking access to your facility or to restricted areas inside it.
