A fingerprint scanner is a biometric device that captures an employee's fingerprint to authenticate their identity when clocking in and out of work.
This technology eliminates the need for manual timesheets and significantly reduces the risk of time theft or buddy punching (where one employee clocks in for another).
Fingerprint scanners are commonly integrated into payroll systems to ensure accurate time tracking.
For instance, an employee simply places their finger on the scanner at the beginning and end of their shift, automatically recording their hours worked.
