Organizations from small to big are using advanced biometric systems to record and manage employees\u2019 clock-in, clock-out, leaves, and many other things. The biggest advantage of these systems is that they don\u2019t allow employees to clock in for one another. This is very common with manual attendance tracking processes and punch cards.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Benefits of biometric systems:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2022 They are very easy to install and use.<br \/>\n\u2022 They help save HR\u2019s time in calculating attendance and payroll through manual methods.<br \/>\n\u2022 It is a highly secured and authentic way of monitoring attendance.<br \/>\n\u2022 Improves productivity by reducing employee absenteeism and time-theft.<br \/>\n\u2022 Helps organization focus time on more important tasks like team building and sales maximization.<br \/>\n\u2022 It helps companies achieve positive return-on-investment by eliminating buddy punching, employee time-theft, and several other loopholes in manual attendance methods.<br \/>\n\u2022 Helps note employee\u2019s overtime. Most of the employees who work extra hours are demotivated if their work is not noticed. A biometric system automatically notes their total working hours for the day and month. It helps in calculating pay for the extra hours worked.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.timelabs.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Biometric-Attendance-System.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.timelabs.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Biometric-Attendance-System.png\" alt=\"Biometric Time and Attendance System\" width=\"685\" height=\"368\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A biometric system is one of the safest ways to record employee attendance. It cannot be hacked by any external entity. It only stores employees\u2019 fingerprints and ID numbers. No other personal information like mobile number, address, PAN details, etc. are stored.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>How does a biometric system work?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Biometric systems installed in organizations mostly use fingerprint to identify employees. Organizations that deal with a crucial set of information and data use more than one biometric verification. Biometric devices are also used to manage access, entrance control, face reading, RFID readers, and locking doors to prevent unauthorized access.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When a new employee joins, the HR enrolls him\/her in the biometric system. Once the unique fingerprint is stored in the database, the employee can start marking attendance through it. The biometric scanner takes an image of the fingerprint and saves it in a biometric encrypt key. This binary information is then used to verify all future logins of the employee. This method works on image-based technology.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A biometric system powered by capacitive technology uses electronic pulses on the touchscreen to verify fingerprints.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Biometric software is also available as mobile applications. This is highly beneficial for remote workers. They can use the application to mark-in and out. They can also keep a track of their timesheet, leave balances, upcoming holidays, and more through the application. Organizations can track remote workers\u2019 time and ensure that they are not misusing the facility given to them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A good biometric attendance system can be integrated with the payroll system of your company. This means it can help in payroll processing, statutory reporting, and payslip generation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Final thoughts<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.timelabs.in\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Biometric\u00a0time and attendance system<\/strong><\/a> offer convenient &amp; secure attendance management to organizations.
