System Features:

CheckPrint T/A
Biometric Enhanced Time and Attendance Authentication

CheckPrint T/A comes as a standalone unit comprised of a TFT Flat Panel display, internal computer, keypad, and silicon fingerprint reader. CheckPrint T/A automatically authenticates the employee, totals hours, and calculates the correct pay rates. Sense has CheckPrint T/A models to support any size employee base.

Sense Technologies Inc.™ Inc designs, develops, manufactures, and sells the CheckPrint T/A security solution.  Sense has developed Time and Attendance, Access Control and security system software applications. Sense Technologies Inc.™ has also developed a complete hardware system solution based on Pentium PC processor backbone. Our products work in a network environment and we can connect to any existing network infrastructure or Sense can set the network up for you. Data is transmitted through TCP/IP protocol and we can link unlimited CheckPrint T/A units together in any environment or facility. Sense also can remotely communicate with other CheckPrint T/A units using a modem and transmitting over the standard telephone lines.  The CheckPrint T/A system is an unsupervised security and clock-in station replacing your standard wall mounted time clock or swipe system.  An employee or another authorized user uses his or her fingerprint to replace a password, PIN or swipe card.

At the heart of the CheckPrint T/A hardware platform is the Fingerloc ™ sensor. Developed by Authentec, and easily the most robust, durable and advanced sensor on the market today, the Fingerloc (TM) sensor uses an active antenna array, which looks below the surface layer of the skin producing an unaffected, undistorted image.  Unlike other technologies, such as optical or DC capacitive, skin surface conditions such as calluses, dryness, dirt, moisture, or the effects of aging do not limit the capture ability of the sensor.  Contaminants such as ink, paint, or glue have little or no effect because the technology reads below the surface capturing the user's LIVE fingerprint.  The result…. A clearly superior image, which gives the capability to work for everyone- in the real world.

Payroll Accuracy

A well-known industrialist once said that his most valuable assets rode the elevator each day. Many business owners have heard this analogy, and believe it as a fundamental truth. However, people also represent a cost to an organization—a cost that grows, is sometimes unmanageable, and very difficult to calculate.

In the past, time and attendance and its resulting payroll can best be compared to a necessary evil. It would be hard to find an owner or employee that actually enjoys doing payroll especially when considering all the benefit, investment and tax calculations. Because of these and other intricacies, many business owners have turned over payroll and its related business processes to the ADPs of the world--but isn't that another cost as well?

One of the biggest problems in controlling payroll costs is the number of people that comprise it. Accurate payroll requires accurate time-clock punches--without accurate time-clock punches, time and attendance systems deliver inaccurate paychecks. A computerized biometric time and attendance system virtually eliminates this problem.

CheckPrint T/A from Sense Technologies Inc.™, Inc., Tamarac, Florida, is a Windows-based, time and attendance system with employee authentication. CheckPrint T/A uses advanced fingerprint verification (biometrics) of employees rather than relying upon an arbitrary timecard punch. Biometrics is the science of using a measurable physical characteristic or personal trait to recognize or verify the claimed identity of a person.

Sense Technologies Inc.™. CheckPrint T/A products are biometric-based devices that use the unique characteristics of the human finger. They provide proof-positive, personal identification, while simultaneously creating a secure audit trail of events. CheckPrint T/A eliminates the potential for fraud, time-theft, or unauthorized access. It dispenses with the need for PINs, cards, keys, or other assumptive forms of identification—creating an environment that cannot be breached or bypassed.

Eliminate Buddy Punching

Fingerprints are unique, so CheckPrint T/A eliminates the ability to buddy punch—saving the company money in time theft and employee abuse.

There have been many computerized attempts to provide payroll accuracy. Badges and data terminals do a very good job to minimize manual data entry errors. However, one flaw of badge and password systems is buddy punching. You cannot be sure that the person using the badge or password actually owns it. In buddy punching, one employee punches or signs in for another that is tardy or absent. Biometric systems require the person to be present, because their body part becomes the badge.

Eliminating badges and/or cards with a biometric system saves the company the issuance and replacement costs—the time it takes to issue original and replacement cards. At more than $1 for each badge, and 20 minutes to issue, the annual savings can be substantial.

Easy to Install, Operate, & Manage

CheckPrint T/A time and attendance provides employees with the easiest possible method of punching in and out. There are no cards or badges to lose, and there's no identification that an employee must remember to bring to work—except themselves. Employee authentication occurs in a few seconds, much quicker than searching for a time card, punching it and replacing it.

Before an employee can use CheckPrint T/A they must be registered so that the reader can compare attempts to sign in and out with a master record that authenticates the person. Registration takes less than a minute, the time it takes for the system to record three images of the fingerprint. Once accepted, there's no need to reregister employees when transferred or expanding the system. Authentication images are stored in a central database for easy retrieval and porting to new and/or remote sites. This is an excellent time to introduce the system to the employee and go over its operation, and any questions the employee may have. Normally, employees welcome CheckPrint T/A once they realize its benefits in terms of receiving an accurate paycheck.

Be in Compliance

CheckPrint T/A software ensures that a business is in compliance with employment laws—governing teenage workers, taxation, and its own overtime guidelines. Workers are prevented from clocking in early—from a break and/or daily--without a management override. CheckPrint T/A provides a rules-based infrastructure that improves bottom lines by inhibiting payroll surprises and abuse.
