Biometric time clocks give employers greater automation
To ensure accountability for all employees with regard to payroll and tracking performance, many companies are pushing for greater automation in time and attendance policies. In fact, employees in the Greenfield-Central school system in Indiana will no longer use paper documentation to report the number hours they've worked, but will instead of required to use a biometric time clock beginning in October.
The system allows staff to clock in and out of work using their fingerprints to verify the employee's identity. Christina Hilton, assistant superintendent of the school system, explained the new electronic time clock should remove any uncertainty regarding accuracy. The move reflects the initiatives many other businesses are undertaking to improve employees' time use, according to Staten Island Live.
To accomplish this, companies can integrate technology that allows workers to record their "to-do" lists electronically in a system that monitors their progress toward specific goals. Moreover, employee tracking software that utilizes the speed and efficiency of the Internet gives employers a deeper understanding of performance and financial expenses associated with particular employee's projects. With the freedom of Web-based technology, businesses have the option of using mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets, to access all pertinent information.
