A biometric time clock has almost too many advantages over the traditional time sheets to list; and it’s almost as easy to set up and just as easy, even easier to use than one of these soon to be museum pieces.  In fact, once biometric time clocks have been set up and configured, it can save your company a great deal of money and time – which of course equals more money for your business.

How A Biometric Time And Attendance System Works

If you’re not familiar with biometric technology other than the retinal scanners in place in some high security facilities, you may be surprised by just how easy to use, easy to maintain and easy to install the latest generations of biometric clocks actually are. While they offer the same kind of individual identification capabilities as these larger and more expensive systems, there are now biometric time clocks which use fingerprints or even individually assigned PIN codes to provide employers with a 100% traceable employee time and attendance system which provides the kind of accuracy which a Bundy clock can’t even come close to.

No More Costly Payroll Errors

When you use one of the old style time sheets, there are far more opportunities for human error to enter the process than if you make the switch to a biometric time clock. Unlike punch clocks, a biometric clock has no ink rollers to run dry, no number blocks to wear down over time and do not need to be read and added manually by your bookkeeping or HR staff.  This eliminates several possibilities for payroll calculation errors which can cost your company money either directly through overpayments or through lower morale when staff members are accidentally underpaid.

A Biometric Time Clock Saves Time

A biometric time clock doesn’t just keep track of time, it actually saves your firm valuable time by reducing the workload on your accounting staff. Unlike the time cards used with a Bundy clock, biometric time clocks can report employee time and attendance data directly to your computer systems through time and attendance software. Just consider how much time your staff spend each month calculating your payroll and you’ll see that these savings alone can more than compensate you for the cost of installing a biometric attendance system.

Getting rid of your Bundy clock or time sheets in favor of a new biometric time clock can significantly reduce your overhead costs and these time and attendance systems can be installed and configured in as little as a couple of hours, being ready to use the very same day that they’re installed. It’s an obvious choice for any business owner – if your punch clock is getting a little long in the tooth, maybe it’s time that you made the change as well.
