Modernizing Time Tracking: The Future of Attendance Management

In today’s fast-paced work environments, clocking in and out remains one of the most outdated and time-consuming tasks for employees. Badge swipes, punch cards, or web logins not only slow down workflows but are also prone to errors, time theft, and compliance gaps. Enter BiznusSoft HR’s biometric timeclock integration with security management systems — a powerful solution that redefines how time and attendance are captured by merging physical access control and workforce automation into a single, seamless process.

The Problem: Manual Time Tracking = Lost Time + Increased Risk

Traditional time-tracking methods pose several problems:

• Buddy punching and time fraud

• Missed punches requiring supervisor correction

• Long entry lines during shift changes

• Separate systems for time, attendance, and physical security

• High administrative overhead for payroll and compliance teams

  
  

These inefficiencies can result in significant labor cost leakage and security risks, especially in industries like manufacturing, corrections, utilities, or field service.

The Solution: Integrated Biometric Time Clocks with Door Access

BiznusSoft HR, built natively on the Salesforce platform, offers a biometric timeclock solution that integrates directly with physical security systems, enabling automated time capture through secured access points.

Here’s How It Works:

1. Employee scans biometric ID (fingerprint, facial, or badge) at a secure entry point equipped with a BiznusSoft-compatible time clock.

2. BiznusSoft authenticates identity and role-based permissions from Salesforce.

3. Upon successful validation, a signal is sent to the security system (e.g., HID, Lenel, Suprema).

4. The door unlocks, and the time is automatically logged as the employee’s clock-in event.

5. When the employee exits or enters another authorized zone, the system logs a clock-out or transfer.

   
   

No need for manual punches. No separate kiosk logins. No clocking mistakes.

Key Benefits

1. Touchless Time Tracking

• Facial or contactless fingerprint scanners eliminate physical touchpoints.

• Ideal for high-security or hygiene-sensitive environments.

  
  

2. Eliminates Buddy Punching

• Only the authorized individual can trigger the door/time event.

• Biometric validation adds a high level of integrity to time data.

  
  

3. Integrated Access + Time Audit Trail

• Every door event is tied to a time punch, and both are logged in Salesforce.

• Real-time reporting and historical audits for compliance and labor laws.

  
  

4. Simplifies Compliance (Union, Davis-Bacon, Inmate Labor)

• Automatically logs start/end times for certified payroll reporting (WH-347).

• Useful in corrections, public sector, or prevailing wage environments.

  
  

5. Reduces Admin Overhead

• No more correcting missed punches or manually calculating hours.

• Supervisors get real-time dashboards in Salesforce.

  
  

Real-World Use Case: Corrections + Inmate Labor

The Minnesota Department of Corrections uses BiznusSoft to:

• Track inmate labor via biometric-enabled kiosks.

• Automatically validate time entries tied to work program eligibility.

• Generate certified payroll reports based on access logs.

  
  

This model can be adapted for employee entrances, secure manufacturing lines, or field depots — streamlining security and workforce management.
