Swipe Time Card Device

Every swipe card has its own ID number, so the clock always knows exactly which employee just badged in, nobody can borrow a card and punch in under someone else’s name.

Even during a shift change, when a dozen employees might swipe in within the same couple of minutes, the reader keeps up without slowing anyone down.

If a card gets lost or damaged, deactivating it and issuing a new one takes a couple of clicks, not a maintenance call.

Timekeeping dashboard

Real-Time Reporting Feeds Straight to Payroll

Hours from the swipe card system show up on the dashboard in real time, not after the pay period closes. If a punch is missing, a supervisor can spot it and fix it directly from the dashboard in a couple of clicks, instead of tracking down the employee to ask what time they actually started.

Self-Service, Right at the Clock

Employees can pull up their own time data right at the clock, daily and weekly hours, punch details, and running overtime or PTO balances, without asking a supervisor to look it up.

Employees can also submit time off requests electronically, right from the swipe card time clock or through the TimeTrakGO mobile app, so a request doesn’t get lost in a text message or a sticky note on someone’s desk.

Can fingerprint time clocks prevent buddy punching?2025-10-10T15:35:22+00:00

Yes, fingerprint time clocks are highly effective at preventing buddy punching. Since the system requires a unique fingerprint for each employee, it ensures that only the actual employee can clock in and out. This eliminates the possibility of buddy punching (one employee clocking in for another), ensuring accurate employee hours.

How do fingerprint time clocks work?2025-10-10T15:35:13+00:00

Fingerprint time clocks work by using biometric technology to scan and recognize an employee’s unique fingerprints. When an employee places their finger on the scanner, the system matches the fingerprint with the stored data (template) to verify their identity and record their clock-in or clock-out time. This ensures accurate and secure employee time tracking.

Are fingerprint time clocks secure?2025-10-10T15:34:47+00:00

Today’s fingerprint time clocks capture and store fingerprints using advanced biometric algorithms. When an employee first uses the system, their fingerprint is scanned and converted into a digital template (enrollment). This template is a mathematical representation of the fingerprint, not an actual image, ensuring privacy and security.
