The Corporation has planned to introduce a biometric system to register attendance of the employees of the local body.

Commissioner P Janaki Raveendran said the system will register the attendance and note the ‘time in’ and ‘time out’ of the employees accurately. It will not only avoid paper usage in office, but will also track the working schedule of the employees.

A fund of Rs 1.60 lakh had  been allotted from  Corporation’s general fund for 2012-2013, for the system within a month, she said. The biometric would be fixed in four ozonal offices — Tharapadavedu, Sathuvachari, Vellore and Shenbakam — of the Corporation and its main office.
