Is your current time tracking method clunky and time-consuming?
Tired of collating timesheets with rosters, chasing up employees for their hours worked and resetting forgotten passwords?
Is time-theft costing your business money?
Traditional time clocking methods can be inaccurate, insecure and slow, making them not just frustrating but costly. This is why fingerprint scanners are becoming increasingly popular for tracking employee hours.
Fingerprint scanners offer a secure, accurate and efficient solution for businesses looking to improve their time tracking process. They are quick and easy to use, meaning they can swiftly process a larger number of employees.
Unlike passwords and clock on cards, a fingerprint cannot be forged, lost or forgotten. All data is automatically transferred into your time and attendance software, eliminating double handling and manual data entry.
As a business owner looking to introduce this technology into your workplace, it can be difficult to know where to start. A simple Google search will reveal a myriad of different fingerprint scanner options. Many search results display overseas models that do not necessarily comply with Australian standards and do not integrate into Australian payroll time and attendance software. In order for your fingerprint scanner to be usable, it needs to tick both these boxes.
So, we’ve done the sifting for you. Listed below are the best fingerprint scanners for tracking employee hours, how they work and why we think they are ‘top of the class’ when it comes to employee time tracking options.
