In recent years, biometric attendance solutions have been growing in popularity. The three most common types of biometric attendance systems are fingerprint clocks, facial recognition software, and hand scanners. Biometrics is a way to measure and record biological data for the purpose of identification and attendance. In this blog, we’ll discuss why biometric attendance solutions are becoming increasingly important.

1. Accuracy of Biometrics

Many different types of biometric technologies are out there to choose from, including fingerprint scanners, facial recognition software, and hand geometry readers. A unique advantage of biometrics is that it allows employers to identify their employees more accurately than with traditional solutions. There are no ways to humanly fake attendance or challenge these biometric solutions.

2. Convenience for Employees

Ultimately, the purpose of any time tracking software is to make things easier for employees on the job. Most biometric technology is very convenient for employees because it does not require them to carry any extra devices on them at work as many traditional time clocks do. In addition, all of these systems can be used by anyone, even if they’re working remotely.

3. Low Barrier for Compliance

Biometric attendance solutions provide a low barrier for attendance compliance. Many companies require their employees to clock in and out on a daily basis, which can be a hassle for workers on the job. With biometrics, there is no need for employees to walk back to a central terminal or clock in and out every day from wherever they may be working. In addition, attendance records are very accurate with biometric systems as long as an employee has been enrolled correctly.

4. Flexibility

The traditional time clock is not very flexible at all. It is located in one location and must be accessed every time an employee clocks in or out. With biometrics, employees can clock in or out from anywhere, including remote locations or home offices. This makes it easier for employers to track the attendance of their employees no matter where they are working.

5. Better Retention

Biometric clocks offer better retention than traditional time clocks; usually, only the total number of hours worked needs to be recorded by employers since biometrics can help track workers’ specific start times for each shift, as well as vacations and sick days, etc. This is a huge advantage for employers to keep better track of their workers’ time and attendance.

6. Less Data Overload

Traditional time clocks like the ones we see at construction sites and other industrial facilities can generate a lot of data and overwhelm employers with information that needs to be organized and analyzed. Biometric clocks, on the other hand, generate much less data for management. Usually, only total hours worked need to be recorded as opposed to recording exact start and end times like traditional clocks do.
