Watchmaster or not watchman? That is the question

It is clear that keeping records of staff time is a necessary process in any organization. But how to implement it decides the company itself. Quite often it can be found that a watchman sits on the entrance, as a rule, a “watchman” (I immediately imagine an old woman with glasses), who records the time of employees coming and going to work. One can argue with the accuracy of records. A watchman is a person who at times has no mood or is friends or has a relationship with some employees. The human factor cannot be excluded in this case.



Each person has their own uniqueness. Fingerprint, retina, facial geometry, etc. The most cost-effective equipment is equipment that can read fingerprints. Recently, in “advanced” companies, there are biometric time tracking terminals. These are devices that scan employee fingerprints and automatically record arrivals and departures for work. However, you rarely find a good “stuffing” in these devices. I'm talking about software. As a rule, the software is completely in Chinese, or in broken Russian, and this type of equipment is designed for opening or closing doors, so the HR department is difficult to operate with data, for building reports and for the cashier - for issuing wages.
