HR data is at risk from unauthorized system access resulting in privacy breaches, payroll or T&A fraud, credential tampering and “ghost workers” who no longer are part of the organization. Granular or layered security is needed to restrict HR workers from unnecessary data access, resulting in greater privacy protection for employees’ Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and other sensitive personal data. Payroll costs can be controlled by instituting biometrically controlled time and attendance, which prevents common fraud techniques such as “buddy punching”. Overtime abuses in payroll approval can be mitigated. Employees increasingly want to be empowered to securely interact with their own personal data. This can be done securely by providing biometrically activated ID Management and Credentialing, even from shared devices such as kiosks.
Key areas of concern within HR include:
- Payroll Visibility & Fraud
- Time & Attendance Fraud
- System Access by “Ghost Workers”
- Privacy: Personally Identifiable Information (PII)
- Personnel Records
- Employee Self-Service
