Imagine coming into work, and instead of having to put your fingerprint on a scanner to sign in or punching your time card, all you have to do is walk through the door; it’s as easy as that. Seem too good to be true? Well, buckle up! There is new technology that will allow employees to clock in and clock out of work, just by showing up with their faces.
Facial Recognition
Facial recognition, unlike many other types of biometric systems, is non-intrusive since you don’t need to give your biometrics. There are systems that can do this now, even from a distance. Employees can easily check in to work with their name, time, and all other needed information. This will save the hassle of confusing attendance.
This is great for businesses that are looking for more advanced employee timekeeping devices for their business. The manual keeping of attendance is not only tedious but can be prone to errors, which makes payroll a lot harder and messes up the overall flow of things. Plus, employees often round up their hours at work.
A few minutes every day may not seem like much, but it adds up. You want to make sure that you are paying each employee the amount that they are entitled to and not just for the minutes they added up.
Installation
Installation should only be done by a professional. The entire process can be completed in a single go. After the system is set up and in place, your employees will benefit from the easy clock in access. In order for employees to be successfully logged in, all they need to do is look at the time clock, and they’re set! Just like that, they’re ready to go on with their shift.
Clocking in this way will be easier for your employees and all their information and the time they clocked in will be automatically recorded and saved into cloud storage. Having this all done automatically will streamline your payroll processes and will make it easier to keep a record of attendance.
Security
This will also add to the security of your workplace. If you make it so that no unauthorized persons can get into the premises without checking in, then you will be sure that intruders stay out of the facility. This is great for any workplace that might handle a lot of money or are particularly vulnerable to theft, fraud, or robbery. Installing this type of system will add an extra layer of security.
Convenience
These systems will streamline your traditional attendance methods. Save yourself, your manager, your HR, and your accounting team a ton of time and money with a system like this. Facial recognition systems will make everyone’s job a little easier, make things go a little faster, and just make everything easier overall. Things will run a lot smoother, making it more convenient for your employees to come into work without having to spend precious time checking in. This is great for busy work environments that can be quite rushed in the mornings.
Variety
A lot of facial recognition time clock companies will allow variety. Most hardware will have both facial recognition and fingerprint scanners. If there is an issue or you and your employees prefer to scan their fingerprints, that is still an available option. Having variety is good, and all the information you need will still be provided to the staff that needs it. Sometimes having the option is nice and employees will appreciate the choice.
