Biometric time clocks offer a streamlined way to manage employees’ time, attendance and automate payroll processes. Most biometric time clock systems capture and use an employee’s face or a fingerprint as identification. Biometric information is a highly sensitive form of data that needs to be stored carefully and correctly. Biometric time clock laws help protect employees and their personal data by giving clear and structured guidance on how a company must store and secure this information. Additionally, these laws protect employees by ensuring their employer and/or third parties are not profiting from the data by selling or leveraging it.
