Biometric time clocks have replaced the standard electronic and punch time clocks that are used by organizations tracking the hours worked by a large amount of employees. Because the former systems allowed for things such as other people punching in and out for people other than themselves, and because these systems weren’t the most efficient, biometric time clocks were introduced. These time clocks require that an employee insert their hand or finger so that their fingerprint can be scanned, which then clocks the employee in or out. But, what biometric time clocks are the best?

Lathem Biometric Time Clock

This biometric time clock can be used for organizations that have 50 employees or less. There are currently no upgrades, so if your company ever has more than 50 employees, you’ll need to buy a different time clock. Some of the biggest benefits to this clock are that it’s easy to install, and it’s one of the cheapest on the market.

BioElectronix X100

This system has double the capacity than the Lathem, being able to facilitate 100 employees and up to 30,000 employee records. It is also a stand-alone system, which means that it doesn’t need to be mounted to a wall or connected to any computer system.

WaspTime Biometric Time and Attendance System

With a price tag that would make you think it was top of the line, the WaspTime biometric time clock has a few flaws. Although it does have a larger employee capacity, it also does not track things such as payroll and tax information, which it should for the price. It also involves complicated software hookup and USB and Ethernet connections, and additional costs for upgrades.
