Biometrics boost employee management

Many shop floor and office-based businesses are beginning to see the benefits of biometrics for monitoring their employees' time and attendance within the workplace, says iNewswire.

CaptureIT Time and Attendance from Vizual is one of the solution providers and continues to offer business so much more than a simple clocking in system.

For example, once an employee has clocked in using a biometric terminal, their attendance data is captured and downloaded to the CaptureIT software. The software then enables managers to see who has clocked in or is late or absent.

Nurses, clerical staff and maintenance workers are involved in the first wave of industrial unrest after three fortnights of Queensland Health pay problems, with thousands of staff not paid, says ABC News.

More than 300 health staff around the state were initially unpaid yesterday, with another 200 underpaid, although most have now received their wages.

Three years ago, the Wichita Falls Independent School District paid $1 million for new computer software from Prologic Technologies, writes Times Record News.

The student, HR and financial software packages were supposed to be fully functioning by April 2008.

Instead, the district is still waiting for full implementation of the product that should have been completed two years ago.
