Using Biometric Systems to Manage Attendance-related Issues

No employee likes being monitored or being supervised. Attrition in IT industry is blamed at reporting manager’s consistent nagging and forceful behaviours. Staying back at work, reporting late and disappearing from the workstation without intimation can be very disapproving as far as organizational values are concerned. To prevent such discrepancies at work from employees and management, the employee self service portal linked to attendance management system.

The employee self service portal is an important man-free aspect of supervising over the entire span of the organization. The self service portal linked to the biometric face recognition system has following advantages.

-    Better Economy
If you are paying your employees well, it would be great if you can see how they spend their time all through the day at office. It can be done by registering their log in timings and log out entries over the employee self service portal. The management can save immensely by cutting down on the supervision cost done through reporting managers and third-party supervisors.

-    Cut down on miscellaneous cost of absenteeism
One hour of absenteeism can cost dearly, especially if the employee holds a position of high significance in the organisational hierarchy. The cost of absenteeism magnifies with the number of employees directly reporting to the absent employee. The cost is calculated in terms of the man hours lost. The monthly performance report can be compared with the cost of absenteeism for each employee. It helps in the performance appraisal of the employee and the team reporting to him/her.

-    Connectivity with Cloud and Wi-Fi
You can register your attendance even from remote locations. The registered device will be connected to the biometric face recognition system through cloud connectivity. It works very well for those who are working from home or have a travelling job. Sales assignments, branding and event management and off-short projects require special attention in terms of attendance marking. The connectivity with public and private clouds is the perfect solution to address attendance issues that crop up due to limited logistics.

-    Sophisticated tools with Simple Usability
When it comes to sophistication, biometric face recognition system and finger print attendance software gel very well together. In addition to regular IRIS Scanners and fingerprint markers, the sensor-based equipments are also very popular in the contemporary employee self service portal management portfolio.
Popular applications are:
-    Biometric Iris, Fingerprint and face identification for time attendance
-    Access Control based on biometric recognition
-    Portable Biometric reader
-    Battery-powered Door Lock for Board room and Treasure room security
-    RFID Time attendance

-    Scalability and Timelessness
Once the biometric face recognition system is linked to the Employee attendance management system, the organization can forget about its scalability issue. With the use of fibre optic cables and digital connectivity, the same layout can be used even of the company expands by 100 times. Additional data space may be required to accommodate the inflated employee numbers, but the efficiency remains unaffected.
