Biometrics has become the new data security darling, not just a concept from sci-fi flicks. We can now unlock our phones with our faces, instantly verify our identity with our fingerprints, and make payments with a smile. And we mean this literally.

With 174 out of the world’s 195 countries using biometric passports and two in five businesses leveraging this technology, biometrics promises to be the ultimate security solution for governments, enterprises, and everyday users.

Biometrics is also gaining traction in the staffing world. Many firms are seeing a growing customer demand for workforce biometrics due to its unparalleled security and efficiency. 

Unfortunately, not all vendors offer this feature, leaving staffing agencies that rely on traditional time-tracking solutions at a distinct disadvantage.

If your current vendor doesn’t support biometric time-tracking, you could be missing out on opportunities to enhance security, prevent costly errors, and improve payroll processes.

It’s time to make the switch to a staffing technology provider offering biometric time-keeping. 

5 Reasons Biometrics Is a Must-Have for Staffing Firms 

Here are the top five benefits of partnering with a biometric time-tracking vendor. 

1. Robust Security 

Biometrics adds an extra layer of security by validating an employee’s identity through unique physical characteristics, like facial recognition, iris scans, or fingerprints. This guarantees precise verification, reducing fraud, errors, and discrepancies.

2. Mitigates Fraud 

Buddy punching and other forms of time theft cost businesses $50 billion annually. Using biometric technology significantly reduces fraud by verifying users’ identities accurately. Unlike traditional methods, biometric data cannot be manipulated, ensuring that the correct employee clocks in and out at the appropriate time. This reduces time theft and protects a staffing firm’s resources. 

3. Streamlined Payroll Compliance 

Payroll compliance is a critical concern for any business, but for staffing firms managing multiple clients, it can be incredibly complex. Each client may have different wage rates, benefits, and tax requirements, making payroll processing tedious and error-prone.

Traditional time-tracking methods, such as paper timesheets or swipe cards, are susceptible to costly human errors. Biometric time-tracking streamlines the payroll process by delivering automated, accurate records for every employee. Because the system records time based on an irrefutable biometric identifier, there’s less room for human error or manipulation. 

4. Simplified Onboarding of Remote Workers 

A remote workforce has become the new norm. However, geographical barriers can make it challenging for employers to complete onboarding processes and other essential activities. Additionally, staffing firms can struggle to verify candidates’ details if they live far away.

Biometric data simplifies this process, making the screening and validation of remote workers more efficient. 

5. Boosts Employee Safety 

Most importantly, biometric time-tracking empowers staffing agencies to create a safer, more secure work environment for employees. By validating identities, firms can reduce and prevent fraud.

Additionally, biometrics can also protect employees’ devices. According to an IBM study, biometrics are more secure than passwords.
