Food retailer Budgens
is using a biometric system to avoid staff clocking in absent colleagues on
their behalf.
The fingerprinting software is currently being trialled in six franchised
stores and there are plans to extend the scheme to a further 20 stores.
"Like most organisations, we knew we had a problem with 'buddy punching' but
we had no way to prove it," said Budgens franchisee Utpal Patel.
Two of Patel’s franchised stores are involved in the pilot and are expected
to save £10,000 a year by avoiding payroll losses related to staff
inappropriately entering time for each other.
"With the biometric technology we are able to ensure we are getting work for
the hours we are paying and that our budget money is being spent on investment
in the stores," said Patel.
