Fingerprinting at work?

A growing number of companies operating locally are demanding that employees provide fingerprints supposedly for time-clock purposes.

Checks made by The Gleaner have revealed that in some cases when employees refuse to give their fingerprints they are threatened with dismissal.

The practice has been implemented by companies on the basis that they have to protect their bottom line by eliminating the time-card system that has been abused by some employees who punch a colleague’s time card when that colleague is absent or late.

Happy Monday Stush fam! Tell us, fingerprinting at work, understandable or unacceptable?
