What is the “Buddy Punching” phenomenon, and how can a biometric Time Clock such as MinuteHound can help you solve it.

“Buddy Punching” is used to describe the phenomenon of one employee clocking-in on behalf of their fellow employee, or “buddy,” punching their timecard for them, regardless of whther they are actually in the office or not.

The reasons behind such occurrences are endless: the employee is taking a long break, leaving early, arriving late, etc. The reason does not matter. What matters is this commonplace practice will end up costing the company a significant amount of time and money over the course of a payroll year.

MinuteHound is a Time Clock Software solution, featuring a biometric USB scanner. When a fingerprint is used for clocking-in and out, rather than timecard, it eliminates the possibility of handing a timecard to a friend, thus eliminating “Buddy Punching.”
