TimePilot: Better Than Biometric

Thinking about a fingerprint or facial scan time clock? Don't do it!
(Unless you want to be in the privacy protection business!)

There are lots of hoops to jump through once you start collecting biometric data.Clocking in with a fingerprint or a facial scan sounds great, right? It's easy, inexpensive (no more time cards!) and you can't cheat. But biometric time clock systems have plenty of downside, too:

1.   They can get you sued if you don't follow new data privacy laws to the letter. In 2022 in Illinois, companies using biometric time and attendance systems paid out more than $88 million in settlements when sued for violations of the state's biometric privacy law. Other states are considering or have adopted similar laws. Do you really need that hassle?

2.  They're high-maintenance. Lotion, grease or dirt on a person's hand can smear a fingerprint sensor's glass, making it difficult for others to clock in or out. And let's not mention viruses and bacteria!

TimePilot has a better idea: iButtons

An iButton: Practically indestructible.Each employee clocks in and out with an iButton: a key-sized device that fits on a keychain and contains a microchip with a unique ID number. The stainless steel button is rugged, unaffected by dirt or liquids and never wears out.

The result: No biometric headaches.
