How To A Biometric Time Clock
Whether you manage an HR department or are the owner of a small business, you know the importance of maintaining accurate employee time and attendance records. Managing payroll can be a daunting process; however, advances in technology have made the process easier to manage and more accurate than ever saving your business as much money as possible. One of the latest innovations in managing payroll that is sweeping the nation is the wide adaptation of biometric time clocks. Read more as we outline the basics of what to look for when you buy a biometric time clock.
In order to know what type of biometric time clock your business should invest in, you should probably understand the basics. Biometric time clocks operate very much like traditional time clocks; however, instead of having a card to punch, a badge to swipe, or a PIN code to enter, employees punch in and out of the time clock using their fingerprint to punch in and out. Fingerprints are ‘enrolled' into the system as each employee has their own unique biometric identifier (in this case – a fingerprint) that is recognized when the employee places their fingerprint onto the biometric scanner. If the user is recognized, the time clock will accurately record the employees punches.
One of the advantages of biometric time clocks is that they can significantly help you keep more accurate records of your payroll system. With traditional systems, employees can cheat the system by having their fellow coworkers punch in and out for them. If an employee wants to sneak out an hour early, its no problem with a traditional time clock. They can simply have a coworker punch their time clock out at 5pm even though they really left at 4pm. This phenomenon is known as buddy punching as employees help each other out by punching their friends and coworkers time clock illegally. Think this isn't a big issue? Think again! Even for a small business with less than 10 employees. Buddy Punching can cost that business over ten thousand dollars annually in fraudulent payroll charges.
If you're looking to buy a biometric time clock, here are some of the things you should consider.
First, how many employees do you have? Most biometric time clocks come with the ability to handle up to 100 employees, but if you have more, you need to check the storage capacity of the unit.
Second, consider how the clock will connect to your master workstation. Some clocks connect with a short USB cable, while others, like the popular Avid Biometrics clocks are available with Ethernet and wi-fi capabilities.
Third, think about your current payroll systems. Many off the shelf biometric time clocks come standard with their own software programs. Many of these programs offer robust features and are ready to go out of the box. If you use a popular payroll software, look for an upgrade that will synchronize your payroll software with popular applications like Paychex and Quickbooks.
If you're looking to buy a biometric time clock be sure to look at these three primary functions and choose a clock that works best for you. You'll find that biometrics can save your business thousands in wasted hours and payroll!
