AvidBiometrics announces sale on biometric clocks

Wednesday, March 10, 2010

AvidBiometrics.com, an online retailer of biometric devices and other security products, has announced a new promotion granting its customers $25 back on any biometric clock priced at or above $250.

The clocks are designed to replace traditional time punch clocks that require employees use a card or PIN to enter their start time or end time for work. However, the old system frequently leads to buddy punching wherein an employee will fraudulently punch in or out a coworker.

Biometric clocks as the ones offered by AvidBiometrics.com offer companies a solution that helps bring more accuracy to their payroll system through requiring the employee himself punches in and out. The promotion requires the coupon code BTC25 be entered when prompted during checkout on AvidBiometrics’ site. [end]
