What is Payroll & Payroll Errors

How RightPunch Reduces Payroll Errors in Kronos
RightPunch is a biometric time clock for Kronos workforce management systems that identifies the employees using their biometric data and uses those for their attendance, check-in, and check-outs. The reasons for using a biometric time clock are to eliminate time theft and buddy punching, reduce administrative expenses, and reduce payroll errors. As the biometric data is non-transferrable and non-sharable, no one can manipulate the actual working hours. Let’s have a look below to find out how RightPunch reduces payroll errors in Kronos:
Accurate Identification
As RightPunch uses the biometric data of an employee for identification, there are no chances of identity theft. Biometrics is the most secure form of identification that is almost impossible to forge.
Exact Time Clocking
There are no possibilities to fool a biometric time clock or manipulate the system without being present physically and scanning the enrolled biometric data. So, RightPunch clocks exact check-in and check-out time.
Elimination of Time Theft
The biometric time clock eliminates time theft. In a traditional time clocking system, employees used to take a longer lunch break and frequent short breaks pretending that they are working. But RightPunch counts only the productive hours.
Prevention of Buddy Punching
Colleagues help each other punch their cards if anyone is late. It costs around 3% of total payroll expenses. RightPunch prevents buddy punching and saves the employer from paying for the time during which no one has worked.
Automation of Payroll Processing
Using RightPunch, it’s possible to automate the whole payroll process and it doesn’t take extra hours to input the attendance data and calculate the salary or wages manually. It reduces the errors in calculation.
Success Story
US Vision, Inc. uses Kronos for managing their workforce, but they needed to streamline a labor tracking system for thousands of employees over their 700 locations. They installed RightPunch PC-based biometric time clock software on servers at each of their 700 locations.

Quite an interesting time capture solution! We need a biometric time clock but have an additional requirement – we want to add attestations when specific employees punch in or punch out. Is it possible to add questions whenever an employee submits their punch?
