Companies have started to crack down on what is now often described as “time fraud,” or my favorite catch phrase of the moment, “buddy punching.”
Look no further than the HandPunch time clock developed by Ingersoll Rand. This device allows company executives to keep control of their employee’s attendance and thus, work productivity, with a simple scan of the hand.
An employee’s identity is recognized by the HandPunch time clock in a split second. What’s interesting is that the shape of the hand is scanned for identification, not the actual handprint.
This method is less complicated than scanning prints and just as effective. Everyone’s own fingers have lengths that can’t be compared with those of another person.
The memory used for hand recognition is powered by a lithium battery, which can last five years. The time clock itself operates with a standard electrical power supply.
Four models of the HandPunch time clock are available. Each one caters to a company’s size and has its own share of features it can accomplish. The HandPunch 1000-E is an entry-level model that caters to businesses with less than 100 employees, and basically keeps score of when a worker punches in and out.
Time clock sophistication oozes from the HandPunch 3000 and 4000 models, which can do a plethora of tasks. They can keep track of employee work schedules so that overtime can’t be counted for a person that isn’t supposed to work longer than he or she should. And, with a push of a button, you can collect employee-specific information, such as earned tips. Employees can also review when they punched in and out during the week. You can get even more fancy with the flagship model, the HandPunch 4000-S, which includes a barcode scanner.
Time clocks are undoubtedly going to become even more technologically advanced in the future. Scanning has already become a commonly accepted practice for detecting identification—it’s even being employed on some notebooks. If you need a sophisticated time clock for your business that can do a lot more than simply keeping track of how long your employees worked, look for the HandPunch, which is available from GHG Corporation.
