Schlage offers hand geometry terminals, one of the most widely used biometric technologies, for time and attendance applications. Hand geometry technology uses the size and shape of the person's hand to verify the user's identity. Some of the world's largest providers of time and attendance systems recommend Schlage's HandPunch terminals as part of their total solution. By using biometric technology, corporations reduce payroll costs and eliminate "buddy-punching" fraud.

The need to identify people is as old as humankind. People recognize each other by sight and sound. However, in today’s complex society, it’s impossible to personally know everyone and as a consequence, systems rely on recognizing a credential rather than the individual. Our HandPunch time and attendance systems recognize people-not credentials-using physical characteristics of hand geometry to identify an individual. They assure that “you are you”.

A known example of payroll fraud is when one employee punches in for another employee. This is also referred to as, “Buddy punching”. Did you know that 5 minutes of an employees time is equal to 1% of their daily pay? 5 minutes here and there can quickly add up to lost revenue. Improved payroll accuracy is guaranteed by the elimination of “buddy-punching.” This means that your payroll is free of time fraud thereby lowering labor costs and giving you a fast return on your investment. Your costs are further reduced since you can eliminate badges. With the HandPunch, your hand is your badge.

As a multi-technology company, Schlage is uniquely qualified as a consultant to help our customers apply the right technology to their application. From our HandPunch 1000 that is great for small businesses to our HandPunch 3000 which can accommodate up to 32.512 employees, we have products to fit your needs as well as your budget.
