Biometrics

Biometrics is the technique of studying the physical characteristics of a person such as your fingerprint, hand geometry, eye structure or voice pattern.

Biometric methods of identification work by measuring unique human characteristics as a way to provide irrefutable proof of identity, for example, iris or finger scanning or dynamic signature verification.

For the effective "two-factor" security authorisation of an individual to a time and attendance system, dermal fingerprint recognition is used in conjunction with a smart card.

A biometric scanner from Time and Attendance UK works by bouncing electro-magnetic waves, similar to radio waves, off of the live tissue and blood flow underneath a person's skin in order to build up a picture of the structure and form of the fingerprint.

By actually reading below the skin, the chances of incorrect scannings are eliminated.

Common skin conditions such as dry, aged, or worn skin have no effect on the scanning capabilities of a Time and Attendance UK scanner.

Similarly, skin contaminated with dirt or grease can be reliably and accurately read.

Other biometric reading technologies based on optics or capacitance do not work on up to 30% of the population due to their dependence on the surface layer of the skin.

By ignoring the surface layers of the skin, and reading the live tissue down at the dermal layer, a Time and Attendance UK biometric fingerprint system does not suffer from such frailties.

With the addition of biometrics to your system, you can be assured that it will be up and running in minutes, but secure for a lifetime.

Inconsistent Working Time Laws
New EU legislation aimed at harmonising working time and ensuring minimum rest periods for truck drivers has met with fierce criticism from both trade unions and employers in the road transport sector who say they can lead to 'different interpretations' and 'unintentional infringements'.
