Annangrove, NSW (PRWEB) June 17, 2010 -- Construction business owners constantly suspect it. Staff and contractors turning up at 7:13, but entering “7:00” on their timesheets.

1. Security

If your business requires a high level of security or you just want to make sure that your business and all your business documents are secure and protected—biometric technology, aside from just time keeping, is an excellent way to secure your workplace.

2. Touch and Go

The biometric fingerprint time clock is easy and convenient. You just simply touch the reader with a finger and the clock provides and audible “Thank You” indicating that the punch is accepted. No more need to keep a rack of employee badges, or deal with employees who forget their swipe card. Not to mention, you can set new employees up in next to no time at all.  

3. Accuracy

When it comes to accuracy, biometric technology rules supreme. No two fingerprints are alike, so there’s never any confusion of the wrong ID card being used as much the case with traditional time clock management. In addition, biometric time clocks ensure that employee time is added accurately and transferred to your RealTime software so that time calculations are error-free. Missed punches or employees who forgot to clock out are easy to spot and correct with the RealTime verification tools that are built in to your biometric time clock.

4. No Wasted Time

Punching the timeclock using a Fingerprint Time Clock takes only a matter of seconds.  Employees don’t have to spend time locating their badge or entering their ID through the keypad which reduces employee congestion and the probability for error at the timeclock.

5. Environment Proof

Regardless of the environment (dry or damp); any environment is equally compatible with the finger print time clock. Consistent fingerprint matching is assured through advanced technology designed into the reader. Automated exposure and intelligent image compensation provides superior performance in all environments, wet, dry and everything in between.

6. Dual Mode Operation

Fingerprint Time Clocks can be operated in Identify mode or Verify mode. Use Identify mode and the employee simply touches the sensor to punch. Verify mode can be used when it’s desirable to have the employee enter their clock ID before touching the biometric fingerprint reader.

7. Save Paper and save the environment

Aside from the additional paper expenses, one of the biggest advantages of biometric time clocks is the environmental aspect—because they are paper free. Whether your business is small or large—biometric technology via time clocks will eliminate the need to use tons of paper in payroll accounting.

8. Cut out workplace fraud

Many major industries are feeling the wrath of employee time fraud, and in a down economy—dealing with fraudulent time keeping and untrustworthy employees is the last thing you should deal with as a business owner. Employees who punch the clock for absent or tardy co-workers are costly. This practice, called “Buddy Punching” or “Ghost Employees” is effectively controlled by Biometric Time Clocks.

9. Cut down on accounting expenses

Where you may have personally done the payroll accounting in the past or you had one or many accountants assigned to the task—biometric time-clocks literally eliminate the need to have extensive accounting. With little to no room for error, biometric time clocks will cut down on administrative costs as well as paper costs.

10. Piece Of Mind

No matter what kind of business you run, there’s nothing that replaces the piece of mind you get when you know that your business is both secure, fraud proof, and error free!

Though biometric technology is becoming more and more prevalent today, many still don’t know exactly how it works.

Scientifically, biometrics is the science and technology of measuring and statistically analyzing biological data. For IT, the measuring and analyzing is used to verify that an individual is who he says he is, much like a computer password.

The way biometric time clocks work is by scanning human characteristics that are statistically unique enough to identify each of us. These characteristics may be used individually or in combination with others. The characteristics most frequently used are face (spatial pattern of the face), fingerprint, hand and finger geometry, handwriting, eye retinas or irises, and speech.

Why use biometric time clocks?

There are many reasons to consider biometric time clocks. For each reason, authenticating ourselves by who we are and not what we know, what we carry, or how we choose to identify ourselves, i.e. PINs, passwords, smart cards, and security tokens.  Other benefits of biometric time clocks include:

• Passwords are expensive and the cost of password and identity protection is far superior with biometric time clocks
• Biometric time clocks reduce paper. In many cases, traditional forms of verification generate boatloads of paper. Know too that other instances of authentication like notaries often rely solely on paper to document an event. 
• Passwords are overwhelming. Simply put, we have so many of them that we cannot remember them all. Our saturation of these secrets increases the likelihood that we do not properly protect them.
• Biometric time clocks increases financial accountability 
• Biometric clocks improves physical security. We are now more sensitive than ever about the need to ensure that physical premises are safeguarded at point of entry.
• Biometric time clocks’ automation can eliminate our sole reliance on a paper trail for a given transaction or event.

Bottom Line

Whether you want more efficient employee time keeping, limited paper trails, heightened security, or more organized accounting—biometric time clocks can take care of multiple business needs. In addition to more efficient time keeping, you’ll also intrinsically have heightened security and biometric logging capabilities for every employee.
