The history
Aluvert, a large manufacturer of a variety of blinds, is located on the edge of the Johannesburg CBD. The company was experiencing huge problems with staff time-keeping. Besides late-coming, absenteeism and buddy-clocking, there were also problems accurately calculating hours worked and overtime. This was costing the company and was also causing discontent as staff members were arguing about the time they had worked and trying to claim extra overtime pay.
A new system had to be imposed on the staff. Not only would the new system be able to accurately assess hours worked and calculate overtime, but it had to address the issues of buddy-clocking and lost clock cards too. It was decided that a system using fingerprints was the way to go. A number of companies were approached for proposals. After a number of demo's from various companies, Timewatch Systems offered a thorough solution and was selected to provide the time and attendance solution.
