Organisations of all sizes use time and attendance (T&A) systems to record when employees start and finish work. An electronic T&A system, such as those available from AIS Technology, enables an employer to have full information of all employee working hours and helps control labour costs.

Biometric T&A technologies, such as the hand reader, fingerprint reader or face recognition devices, provide additional benefits over traditional employee tracking systems as they increase reliability and reduce costly errors.

The key benefits associated with biometric technology include reduced payroll error through elimination of employee fraud, increased productivity and improved management reporting, resulting in an overall reduction in labours hours and running costs.

The choice of the biometric device for an electronic T&A system largely depends on the environment the business is operating in, and whether the device will form part of the company’s electronic security system.

As companies look to improve operational efficiencies, automating T&A management is a key area for direct savings. Deploying biometric T&A technologies, such as hand reader, fingerprint and facial recognition devices, virtually eliminates payroll errors associated with buddy punching, delivering significant return on investment.
