Canyon Ranch, a company that oversees a number of resorts and spa across the U.S., is looking at biometrics to solve its payroll inaccuracy woes.

Previously Canyon Ranch has used a simple punch-card system for its on-site employees; however, they recently noticed that this system’s lack of security and verification features led to a number of inaccuracies where employees were getting paid for time they didn’t work.

In an effort to find a system that could present employee time and attendance monitoring, Canyon Ranch has implemented the Genesis Pro Time and Attendance software from Time America. In addition to the Genesis software Time America installed biometric clocks that scan a palm print for employee clocking.

The software has saved Canyon Ranch $500,000 annually in payroll inaccuracies as well as, due to the Genesis software providing automatic payroll verification, a large number of work hours associated with manual verification of payroll on the old system.
