This problem in collective clocking points is due to the fact that:
- People easily accumulate at the times of entry and exit or when registering breaks.
- Physical contact with biometric devices facilitates the transmission of viruses, especially in fingerprint or facial recognition readers.
On the other hand, systems based on proximity cards continue to have the disadvantage of the accumulation of personnel at the clocking points. In addition, they tend not to please many companies because they allow easy cheating, such as, for example, an employee clocking in with another worker's card.
The only truly effective solution is to:
- Have an individual clocking in system for each employee.
- That this system does not have an excessive cost for the company.
At this point we have three options
- The clocking in apps for mobile devices.
- 100% online workday registration applications.
- Systems that allow the connection with the system that the company already has, expanding its functionalities.
The problems with the App are that:
- They force the company to provide a mobile device to each of its employees to make the markings, since the vast majority of workers do not want company applications to be installed on their mobile phone.
- The company cannot force its employees to install applications on their personal mobile phone.
- There is always a percentage of devices in which the App does not work correctly due to problems with the operating system versions or the mobile phone model.
Timenet satisfactorily solves all the problems that we have just explained since:
- It is 100% online and does not require installing anything on any device.
- It has a quick implementation.
- If you sign up from your personal phone, the employee has the peace of mind that no software has been installed.
- It allows you to sign up from any device that has an Internet connection, whether it is a computer for employees who work in the office, from a mobile phone or at home in teleworking mode.
- It eliminates the possibility of a worker cheating since it can be configured so that each employee can only register sign-ups from their device.
- It allows the connection to the company's usual system to import or export worker data.
