Biometric Time Clock FAQs
Biometric time clocks use features of the body to identify individuals, such as a finger template or shape of the hand.
Badges, identification cards, passwords, or personal identification numbers are not necessary, but can be added for additional security.
A biometric clock takes away the chance for buddy punching, and helps with security access.
Questions?
Here are three common employee questions about personal identity theft and security.
"Is my privacy being violated?"
Biometric time clocks do not infringe upon personal liberties. The hand and finger readers do not take pictures of your employees' hands or fingers or reproduce images of employee hands or fingers.
Biometric time clocks compare a geometric template of the hand or finger to the scan taken when an employee punches In. The machine stores the measurements of each employee's finger or hand geometry, but does not duplicate a finger or hand print.
"Why are they needed?"
Biometric time clocks eliminate "buddy punching," protecting both the employer and the employee.
Buddy punching, when unchecked, decreases employee morale for the majority of honest workers who become frustrated that they are putting in a full day while a few are not. Biometrics also increases workplace security by ensuring that a user is, indee,d who they say they are.
"What about germs with the finger and hand readers?"
This is a valid concern when considering installing hand or finger reader clocks.
Select biometric time clocks available from Attendance on Demand offer an innovative anti-microbial plastic coating which protects employees and reduces spread of germs.
A silver antimicrobial technology is embedded into the plastics used to create the clocks, providing a hygienic finish that resists bacterial degradation and reduces bacteria levels on the reader's surface.
