HandPunch terminals at a glance

Accountable — Reliable biometric technology eliminates costly buddy-punching. Employees must be present to clock in!
Efficient — With no more paper time cards, clerical errors in payroll preparation are reduced or eliminated.
Economical — There's no more need to continually purchase or maintain stocks of badges, time cards, ribbons or other supplies.

Field-proven technology

HandPunch technology uses field-proven hand geometry biometrics — recognition based on the size and shape of the hand. The system does not capture fingerprints or palm prints. Hand geometry is highly accurate, and is generally not affected by rings, small adhesive bandages, false fingernails and the like. Green and red lights notify the employee of the status of each punch.

Eliminates common problems

Biometric units such as the HandPunch terminals can eliminate two common problems:

Lost or stolen timecards or badges.
"Buddy-punching," where one employee clocks in on behalf of another.

With the HandPunch terminals, employees can clock in and out simply and quickly by entering their ID number and placing their hand on the HandPunch unit. The typical verification time is only one to two seconds.
