Biometric attendance for Secretariat staff
HERALD REPORTER
PANJIM, APRIL 18
The Government will soon launch biometric system for attendance of employees in the Secretariat.
There are around 700 employees including ten IAS officers, 18 Joint Secretaries and Under Secretaries.
“The work order will be issued soon,” Secretary GAD (General Administration department) S K Jha told this paper indicating that the tender would be allotted this month.
He said two companies are vying for the tender and that presentations are going on in the last few days.
Biometric attendance tracker uses fingerprints and attendance gets marked instantly.
With this system, late coming in and early leaving will be tracked down discouraging employees from leaving early.
The proposal is to install 2-3 biometric time tracking machines in the Secretariat.
A biometric time attendance system has many advantages over conventional time tracking used at organizations. Typically such organizations maintain a register book, where people enter their name, time-in, time-out and other required details.
