Time and Attendance

What is a Biometric Time and Attendance System?
Biometrics is the identification of people based on their physical characteristics; most commonly their fingerprints, hands, eyes, or facial features. Time and attendance systems are used to manage employee attendance, scheduling, and associated payroll tasks.

Within time and attendance, biometric devices are often used as a punch clock in order to add an extra layer of security, accountability, and efficiency.

How Does Biometric Time and Attendance Software Work?
Step 1: Biometric Devices: Using biometric time and attendance systems allows employees to clock in and out using their fingerprint, retinal scan, etc. Often times this process is also accompanied by a PIN (Personal Identification Number) which must also match the fingerprint or other scan.

Step 2: Time and Attendance Software: Pairing your biometric device with time and attendance software allows for more efficient payroll and attendance processing. Rather than spending hours adding up manually submitted clock-in and clock-out times, your biometric time and attendance software will allow you to automatically import data into your payroll software. This will significantly cut down on processing time and will eliminate errors derived from manually inputting information.
