The Importance of Biometric Clocks

The benefits of using an electronic time clock should be obvious in today’s day and age. For many reasons, they are superior to their punch-clock predecessors. One of the most advanced versions of electronic clocks is a biometric time clock. By taking your employee’s fingerprint to check in, you’re guaranteed a better result.

As the name hints at, with a biometric clock, the machine takes into account the individual’s fingerprint. This unique metric can’t be faked or submitted by anyone other than the work, so you’re assured the person checking in is exactly who they say they are. Such assurance makes it easier to monitor and enforce quality control.

Of course, this advanced data tracking won’t be worth it if it comes at a cost somewhere else. While you might pay more for these models, it should be worth it. The clock should feature a digital readout of both the time and the date. There should also be a keypad to make entering employee numbers a breeze.

These clocks might take a bit longer to gather a reading, seeing as how they need to scan your employee’s fingerprints. As such, many businesses elect to have more than one to cater to their number of employees and ensure no one is late to clock in due to a line.
