Benefits of integrating time and attendance with access control
Integrating time and attendance with access control is a logical step that can bring powerful benefits to enterprises with a large number of hourly employees or contractors.
A single credential (identification card or biometric) can simultaneously control an employee or contractor's entry into the workplace and track his or her arrival and departure times. While the access control system helps ensure the physical security of the workplace, the time and attendance system helps to streamline labor and contractor invoice processing. And by combining the two systems, enterprises can experience unique benefits not available with either system alone.
The combination of your access control and inFront's TimeSentry™ is particularly powerful because the combined system supports sophisticated business rules, which can be customized for each enterprise. For enterprises that use a large number of contractors, for example, the system can be programmed to prevent the entry of more than a certain number of contract workers at a time, thereby containing costs. Management can even "reverse invoice" contractors based on their records of contract employee hours worked.
By guarding against errors and ensuring that business rules involving employee payroll and contractors are followed, TimeSentry™ can generate an impressive return on investment.
For enterprises that already have an access control system installed, the addition of TimeSentry™ is a particularly smart move-and an even easier one to make.
