The scanner then recognises their finger or palm print and matches it with an employee number.

There are two distinct technologies, used in biometric time clocks – finger and handprint recognition. Fingerprint recognition is able to identify an employee’s fingers by the distinguishing ridges and valleys. Hand identification scans the shape and size of an employee’s hand and matches it with employee records.
