Biometric attendance systems utilize biometric data—such as fingerprints or facial recognition—to track employee attendance accurately.
This method enhances accuracy by reducing fraud risks associated with traditional timekeeping methods like punch cards or manual timesheets. For instance, biometric systems eliminate "buddy punching," where one employee clocks in for another.
These systems are particularly beneficial in workplaces where security is paramount, ensuring that only authorized personnel access sensitive areas while providing reliable attendance records.
