Smart card saves time as it does not have to be removed from a wallet

MP for Brentwood and Ongar Eric Pickles has put forward proposals that local councils and other public bodies in England would have to identify all staff earning £58,200 or more. The minister included it among proposals being put out for consultation – although staff could decline to have their name published. Mr Pickles said taxpayers had "a right to look under the bonnet… and see where their money is being spent". As well as local councils the code would also cover Transport for London.

Companies can keep a firm grip on where their money is being spent using Time and Attendance South East systems and software. With the software you can view all time and attendance information for an employee or a single department. Using a Tensor fast Smart Card to clock in, a card or badge does not have to be removed from a wallet or purse, drastically reducing the everyday wear and tear associated with dated swipe card systems and cutting the time needed for clocking.
