nothing new

This is nothing new, hand scanners have been used for a while now. Its no different then punching in and out with an old fashioned machine and punch card for your time. Welcome to life working in a factory. Manual labour FTW!

This is old hat.

One defunct software company local to me (aptly named: PMS) did this, plus counting keystrokes, log-timing loo ins, and randomly remote monitoring emps' screens. But it was all for moot, since apps coding has all but become obsolete. Once past Y2K, Programming jobs must be the ones that the Americans don't want to do. Clueless managers must gain all the dosh. The death of higher wages is sin.

Old hat

I worked at a small hotel chain, and we had fingerprint rec. on our timeclock system. Problem was, it didn't always recognize you. Or sometimes it thought you were someone else.
