The City of Tahlequah in Oklahoma is using eleven Ingersoll Rand Schlage HandPunch 3000 terminals to track and manage the city’s 129 employees. Eight of the hand geometry terminals reside on the city’s network while three remote locations use dial-up mode to transfer time and attendance data to the HR Department. The employee enters an ID number and then places a hand on the platen of the HandPunch terminal. Verifications take less than a second. Sue Stacy, Tahlequah’s Human Resources Director, for one, loves the system. Stacy states “The system calculates everything, including hours, sick leave and vacation. It provides better management and tracking of our employees.” ![[end]](/resources/bullet/thirdfactor-4.gif)
