Time theft — buddy punching, padded timesheets, long breaks and “time rounding” — costs US businesses an estimated $11 billion a year. Biometric attendance is the most direct way to stop it.
The hidden cost of inaccurate hours
Even a few padded minutes per employee per day adds up across a large workforce. Manual and card systems make this easy and hard to detect.
How biometrics fix it
- Every clock-in is tied to a verified person — no buddy punching.
- Geofencing confirms staff were on-site.
- Accurate, auditable records remove timesheet disputes.
Accuracy pays for itself
When you pay only for hours actually worked, the savings typically dwarf the cost of the system — especially for high-headcount workforces.
FAQ
Is time theft really that common? Surveys consistently find a large share of employees admit to some form of it.
