RESTAURANT
The effectiveness of the hand readers is demonstrated in the restaurant business where a solution for a costly payroll problem was needed for a restaurant with 280 employees. The badge and time clock system made it easy for employees to ‘buddy punch’ – clock in others who were late or clock out friends after the shift ends, earning them overtime pay.
The main need of the restaurant was to stop buddy punching and improve the accuracy of timekeeping. The restaurant wanted a fraud-proof timekeeping system that integrated seamlessly with time and attendance software and a payroll system.
Two HandPunch® hand readers were installed as the hand readers eliminate the expenses associated with employee badges as well as fraud caused by buddy punching. Instead of filling out or punching timecards, restaurant employees simply place their hands on the HandPunch® and the user’s identity is verified.
The HandPunch® terminals connect over a computer network to human resource management software that tracks time and attendance. The human resource department receives the actual hours clocked by the HandPunch® terminals and the software exports time files directly to a local payroll service, which eliminates manual payroll entry.
This process resulted in a seamless, quick and efficient payroll and no resistance was encountered from employees to using the HandPunch®.
