Following issues with fraudulent employee time sheets at the Municipal Golf Course, Henderson, Kentucky’s city auditor, Mac Neel, has recommended the implementation of biometric-based time and attendance systems as part of his presentation of the city’s annual financial report, according to a Courier Press article.
While Neel acknowledged there would be a relatively significant upfront cost, ranging between $400 and $500 per time clock, he said the city could expect a 3% to 5% drop in labor costs as a result of the change.
The city Manager, Russell Sights, has acknowledged the positives of the potential system, but sees the need as low.
Additionally, Sights noted that there would be a need for significant investigation to determine how many locations an upgrade of the time clocks would include before any changes could be made.
