Connecteam makes workforce management simple — from scheduling to time and attendance. But if your employees clock in at a physical job site, how they record their time matters just as much as where that data ends up.
Many organizations rely on the Connecteam time clock app or a web-based Connecteam employee time clock to track hours.
While these tools work well for mobile teams, onsite workplaces often benefit from a dedicated Connecteam time clock where employees can clock in and out consistently.
Biometric Time Clocks for Connecteam
Connecteam users can choose from multiple biometric Connecteam time clock configurations from Accu-Time Systems, allowing organizations to match their time collection method to their workplace environment.
stride80 with Facial Recognition
Facial recognition improves time tracking accuracy right at the source. Each punch is tied to an employee identity, helping reduce buddy punching and time theft.
For Connecteam admins, that means cleaner timesheets and fewer payroll 
corrections. When hours are recorded accurately from the start, managers spend less time reviewing disputes or adjusting missed punches.
The result is more dependable workforce data inside Connecteam — supporting accurate payroll, stronger compliance confidence, and better day-to-day oversight.
stride80 with Fingerprint Scanning
Fingerprint scanning creates a consistent and controlled clock-in process for your workforce. Each employee enrolls once, establishing a secure and repeatable way to collect employee time and data.
For Connecteam users, this reinforces responsibility at the start and end of every 
shift. Employees must be physically present and actively confirm their punch, helping maintain structure in environments where oversight matters.
Unlike badges or PINs, fingerprints can’t be shared, lost, or forgotten. That makes this option especially valuable for teams that want a dependable, no-excuses approach to time collection.
Both options are designed for durability, shared use, and seamless integration with the Connecteam time clock platform through TimeCom.
What Makes Biometric Time Clocks Different?
Biometric time clocks verify identity using unique physical characteristics — such as facial recognition or fingerprint scanning — before recording a clock-in or clock-out.
Unlike badges or PIN codes, biometrics can’t be shared, lost, or guessed. The result is a more secure and reliable way to track employee time.
Through ATS, all biometric punches flow directly into the Connecteam time clock system in near real time, keeping your timesheets accurate without manual entry. Instead of managing a separate device, your time clock Connecteam integration becomes part of your existing workforce management process.
The Benefits of Biometric Time Clocks for Your Connecteam Workforce
Eliminates Buddy Punching
Biometric authentication ensures the employee physically present is the one clocking in.
When facial recognition or fingerprint identification is required, time theft and buddy punching are dramatically reduced. That translates directly into cleaner payroll data inside your Connecteam employee time clock records.
Reduces Payroll Corrections
Forgotten PINs and shared credentials often lead to missed punches and manual adjustments.
Biometric clocking removes that friction. Employees simply verify their identity and clock in. The data flows automatically into your Connecteam time clock, reducing administrative follow-up and payroll edits.
Faster Wait Times at the Clock
In busy environments, speed matters.
Stride80 with facial recognition allows employees to clock in quickly without carrying a badge or remembering a PIN. For many organizations, adding a physical Connecteam clock helps keep shift changes organized and efficient.
Strengthen How You Use Connecteam
Adding a biometric Connecteam time clock doesn’t replace the Connecteam time clock app — it enhances it.
For onsite teams, biometric hardware from Accu-Time Systems — powered by TimeCom — provides the structure, security, and real-time data flow needed to improve payroll accuracy and workforce accountability.
If your organization depends on Connecteam but needs more control at the point of clock-in, biometric time clocks may be the next step forward.

Biometric Usage: Growing concerns over the privacy and security of biometrics are driving government regulations surrounding the definition of personal data and how to protect it. These regulations vary from country to country, state-to-state, and in some cases city by city. Most often the governing regulations are dictated based on the location where the information is being collected. It is important to understand the local regulations in the geographic areas in which you operate. If you are uncertain regarding your regulatory obligations, we encourage you to consult with your legal counsel.
