Expenses for many companies spell the main difference between business viability and wherewithal to be competitive on the market. No matter how much revenue flows in to the business, if the costs of production, marketing, and research are extremely high, the company loses profit. Proper management and usage of the company's resources, including its human resources, are imperative to keep a business running.

The lifeblood of the organization is its workforce. Like the majority of company resources, working hours are precious input that has to not be wasted. There are several tools available that are meant to appraise the performance of groups and people. And also the age-old practice of monitoring attendance and employee times out and in took on the more high-tech nature.

biometric time clock

Mechanical punch clocks and timers are actually slowly being substituted with what is called biometric time clocks. These clocks use human imprints to recognize individuals rather than traditional time cards and swipe cards. The widely used imprints are those of the forefinger or thumb, palm, voice, and retina.

Biometric time clocks are more reliable in keeping track of employee traffic. By utilizing human imprints as reference for a person, the system ensures that the employee needs to personally check himself out and in. This eliminates "proxy punching" or having others register attendance for latecomers or absentees. Due to its electronic features, a biometric clock can easily generate a set of attendance. This is helpful to companies that need to closely monitor employee attendance.

Biometric time clocks will also be used as security devices in lots of government and private facilities. Because human imprints are close to impossible to copy and also, since these clocks only recognize that kind of identification system, unauthorized people cannot gain access to high-risk areas. This means heightened to safeguard a company's trade secrets and employees.
