Biometric Clocking Systems South Africa

time and attendance

Why would you use Biometric Clocking?

Traditional attendance methods—paper sheets, PIN codes, swipe cards—fail South African employers more often than they succeed. Employees clock in for others, errors slip into payroll, and HR teams spend hours correcting mistakes. Biometric clocking systems solve these problems instantly.

These systems identify staff using biometric fingerprints or facial recognition technology. You get accurate data. Payroll becomes fair. You save time.

Real Example: A Cape Town Retailer Ends Time Fraud

A Cape Town retail chain battled time theft and buddy-punching for months. Staff faked non biometric clock-ins using PINs. HR scrambled to fix payroll errors weekly.

They installed Time & Attendance Solutions’ biometric devices. Staff now clock in using fingerprint or facial scanners. The data updates live and connects with payroll. Fraud stops. Payroll accuracy goes through the roof. HR gains hours every day.
