Face Recognition Time Clock: Future of Employee Monitoring
Time is money, and this saying is especially
important when it comes to the business world.
Precisely for this reason, it is important to carry out
thorough monitoring of the work time of your
employees. Therefore, it is not surprising that
employers increasingly use modern software like a
face recognition time clock – because they are the Software
most reliable tools in employee time management
today.
Biometric Technology at the Service of Employers
Theft of time has always been a big problem and also
a potential financial loss for company owners.
Everyone is susceptible to this problem, regardless of
whether they are large companies or small
businesses. Moreover, we can say that it is even
more difficult for small businesses because these
kinds of problems can devastate them financially.
The tricks that employees often resort to are already
known to us. Manual timesheets can be easily faked,
cards can be shown or not shown as needed – and
employers are often faced with the problem of
losses. Fortunately, modern biometric technology is
here to help them.
Face Recognition Technology
Nowadays, we have several types of biometric
recognition at our disposal. However, we must point
out that they are not all the same. Speaking of
fingerprint technology, we can point out that it
doesn’t always work perfectly. Simply, there are
professions of such a nature that the biometric print
cannot be read correctly.

For example, it happens with workers on
construction sites, where it often happens that
due to injuries, unclean hands, etc. – a
biometric reader can’t do the job well. Also,
this is a slightly unhygienic method that is
particularly repulsive to some people during
the pandemic. Therefore, the face recognition
time clock is a far better, more efficient, and
more appropriate solution. Namely, the face
scanner is precise – and at the same time
contactless. That gives us a much better
possibility of determining the identity of
employees.
Advantages of Using Face Recognition
When we talk about the use of these time-
tracking technologies, the truth is, many
workers do not like it. Most of them are afraid
of misuse of personal data and similar things –
but that fear is irrational. Namely, states that
have approved the use of these technologies
within companies – have legally determined
the protection of employee data privacy
concerning the handling of biometric data. On
the other hand, this technology of the future
makes it much easier for both employers and
employees. Using software such as face
recognition time clock, employers will have
the most accurate data on working time
tracking. Also, employees can get some
benefits out of it too. For example, by using
these applications, they will be connected to
the company’s portal – where they can solve
issues such as paid leave, sick leave, or similar
things.
The Bottom Line
In the end, this is truly a technology of the
future that will affect employee productivity in
the long run.
