Corporations Make Time and Attendance Systems "Green" by Using Biometrics
Your Hand is a "Green" Timecard
Corporations everywhere are looking to make a difference in how they affect the environmental resources of the earth. There's more emphasis on recycling, using recycled and environmentally friendly materials and conserving energy. One way that many companies are finding it easy to go "green" with their time and attendance system is by using Schlage's biometric HandPunch terminal - eliminating the use of paper time cards to track employee's payroll data.
According to the Resource Conservation
Alliance, it takes approximately two to four pounds of wood to create one pound of paper, plus huge inputs of chemicals, energy and water. Think about how many trees were used to make the timecards currently in your inventory along with the ones that remain in storage after use.
Schlage biometric HandPunch time and attendance terminals help conserve natural resources by using a person's hand as their timecard. No paper, wood, chemicals, or water are needed to produce paper timecards that are then discarded after one week of use.
In fact, with 250,000 HandPunch terminals being used around the world for time and attendance, and the average organization tracking 50 people's timecards, the HandPunch is eliminating 12.5 million timecards a week, 650 million timecards a year. That’s a lot of trees.
In addition to being better for the environment, biometric time and attendance systems are better for employees and employers. Schlage HandPunch terminals ensure employees earn a day's pay only when they are present to do a day's work. And, mistakes made in manual time and attendance record keeping are eliminated. In addition, identities are verified in less than one second, so the punch in/out process is still quick and easy for the employee. Combined with other features of the unit, HandPunch terminals offer the flexibility of a full function data collection terminal with the sophistication of the most accurate identification technology available. This provides users with a positive experience while still being nice to Mother Nature.
