Is your organization still using the old time clock to track employee’s attendance?

If yes, then you must have realized that there are numerous loop holes with the system. 

Some disadvantages of using the old punch clock are:

• People can punch the card on behalf of someone else which creates early punch ins as well as late overtime hours (buddy punching)
• Manual time calculations
• Possibility for dispute to arise
• Punch cards could be easily tampered / sabotaged

Punch clocks have been used by many organizations to assist in tracking the number of hours an employee of a company worked. 

Did you know that the first time clock was invented way back in 1888?  Which means It has been used for more than a hundred years! If it’s still being used today, it must be a real proven system.

With biometric time clocks, a person’s biological attribute such as the finger print or retina, can be used to correctly identify the employee. This would mean that the buddy punching problem can be eliminated. Unless the buddy’s thumb or eyeball can be detached!
