How it works -- as a Time Attendance System

iGuard is a Biometrics (fingerprint identification) and Contactless Smart Card Access Control & Time Attendance system designed for business. It uses the latest, industrial proven fingerprint-capturing technology to achieve its robust fingerprint identification & verification capability. Unlike other security systems, iGuard includes the embedded Web Server technology, which enables all computers, such as Apple Mac, PCs & Unix machines, in the corporate computer network to setup, maintain and access the information of the device simultaneously using any Internet Browser.

When configured as a Time Attendance System, a user can specify whether he/she is clocking-in or clocking-out. By using fingerprints to determine identity, buddy-punching problems can be totally eliminated as well as other fraud. Attendance of each employee is printed on the attendance report. The attendance report is particularly useful for payroll purposes. Wages and salaries can be paid according to the employee’s worked hours, overtime etc. Wages and salaries can be integrated with a smart card or automatic deposit payroll system.

Benifits

• Reduces Payroll Processing Cost
• Eliminates paper timecards and all cost associated with them (cards, ribbons, etc)
• Reduces the time needed to verify attendance data
• Reduces the time needed to calculate and process payroll
• Eliminates mistakes in calculating work hours and other human errors (manual reentering, etc)
• Centralized payroll processing reduces HR and Accounting personnel involvement

Biometric fingerprints provide the highest level of security which makes is impossible to punch in or out for someone else.
