How Biometric Attendance System Became A Redundant One?

The market had launched the biometric attendance system as the insurmountable attendance system for the business world. And employers considered it as the best available system to hassle-free manage the employees’ recognition log-ins. And they regarded it as an unbeatable device. But within a couple of years of its launch, the technical experts found various loopholes linked with its data leakage susceptibility characteristics. And slowly but steadily, employers started looking for the best alternatives to replace it altogether. And recently, with the global outbreak of coronavirus, its use has become hazardous, which can transmit the fatal virus. As in the biometric attendance system, every employee has to touch one common area (finger touchpad) to mark recognition. So this way it suddenly became a deadly device that may spread this virus among the employees. And this virus is going to stay with us for a long, so the manual attendance recording could not efficiently deal with this. Below are two major disadvantages linked to the biometric attendance system.

·         Data leakage susceptibility- The biometric data (fingerprint, iris, DNA data, and vein and palm data) is saved online on the master data. And there are high chances of its leakage. Nowadays, the banking details are linked with the biometric-based Aadhar card, and which may call colossal damage to anyone’s life. So any infiltration of data may cause a profound impact on employees in their personal life.

·         A malfunction with a change of season- More often the biometric attendance system which recognizes employees through their fingerprints, starts malfunctioning during winter seasons. During winter the skin of hands becomes rough, dry, and flaky. So this attendance system finds it hard to register the scanning attempts. 

So the best option available for employers when the government has banned the biometric attendance system completely from the workplace.
