Biometric Information Privacy Act

(BIPA)

Are you compliant?

If your organization is utilizing biometric time clocks for capturing employee time clock punch transactions. Once an employee is enrolled in your biometric time clock, their biometric hand or finger template is then stored within Attendance Enterprise (AE) and the time clock(s). These employee biometric templates are governed under BIPA.

As an administrator of AE, it is your responsibility to manage these employee biometric templates, according to the BIPA guidelines.
