Fingerprint Time & Attendance Devices

Time & Attendance Systems using Fingerprint clocking devices

Using biometrics for recording your employees time and attendance is by far the most accurate and cost effective solution available.

Fingerprint devices are popular biometric devices for time and attendance.

Benefits of Fingerprint Time & Attendance Devices

Employees can’t lose or leave their finger at home

Unlike tags/cards, employees can’t lose or leave their finger at home
Employees can’t get a colleague to clock in or out on their behalf
No extra costs once the system is in place

Fingerprint systems vs. RFID Tags/Card systems

Cards & tags are:

Vulnerable to theft
Buddy clocking – able to be given to a colleague to clock in/out for you
Costly to purchase
Often lost or broken

Fingerprint systems vs. ID & PIN number systems

ID & PIN numbers are:

Lower accuracy and accountability
Buddy clocking – able to be given to a colleague to clock in/out for you
Often forgotten
Time-consuming to manage

One of the biggest challenges in shift-based environments is inaccurate clocking. GDPR & Biometric Data

Our biometric devices securely store biometric data but it can’t be used elsewhere.
A random matrix of data is taken from a user’s fingerprint or face (rather than a full identifiable scan), an algorithm is applied and then the data is encrypted as it’s stored. This data isn’t readable by any other type of device and you can’t get any images of a face or fingerprint back out. It’s a one-way process only.

For more information see: National Cyber Security Centre – Using Biometrics

Biometric data is classed as Special Category Data by the ICO and so you must offer Users an alternative way to clock. All of our devices also have RFID card/tag or ID & PIN as secondary options.
