CAMPBELL, CALIF. - May 27,
2008 - Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies today announced that Health Management
of Kansas, Inc., with over 1,000 people providing a full range of long-term
care services, is using eight Schlage HandPunch 3000 biometric terminals in
conjunction with the Legiant Timecard System to provide time and attendance
reporting. The system saves the long-term care provider 30 hours each payroll
period just in totaling timecards. Additional time is saved by having the system
integrate directly with their payroll application and by empowering employees
to answer their own time and attendance questions via the HandPunch.
Prior to the new system,
the four independently run LLC companies that comprise Health Management of
Kansas were doing time and attendance data collection manually. At the end of
the day, all time cards were manually checked, corrected and sent to the business
office, which then entered the time into the payroll system. All reports were
then manually entered into Excel. Not only was the process labor intensive and
prone to errors but it took an immense amount of time.
When new CFO Sabrina Horner
joined Health Management of Kansas, one of her first priorities was to correct
this problem. After a thorough review, Horner's team selected the Legiant Timecard
System using eight Schlage HandPunch terminals, two located at each facility.
By verifying each employee's identity by the unique size and shape of their
hands, the long-term provider has added security and eliminated any opportunities
for "buddy-punching," when one employee punches in or out for another.
"We transitioned very
nicely," reports Horner. "The system is very user friendly and easy
to navigate. The workflow makes complete sense. Frankly, I would be surprised
if anyone had real trouble with this system."
