RFID key fobs in packs of 25, for clocking in and for door entry. Staff hold the fob near the reader and it registers, with nothing to swipe or insert. A fob goes on a keyring rather than in a wallet, which suits anyone who does not carry a badge and makes it harder to leave at home. Each fob is assigned to a person in your time and attendance software, so a lost one is deactivated and replaced without touching the rest.

Fobs, cards or clamshell?
Fobs suit workshops, yards and any site where people carry keys rather than a badge, and they stand up to being in a pocket all day. Cards suit an office, where a card doubles as an ID badge on a lanyard. Clamshell cards sit between the two, card shaped but thicker and tougher.
A note on fobs and biometrics
Fobs keep you clear of the biometric question entirely, since nothing about a person’s body is recorded. The trade-off is that a fob can be handed to a colleague, where a fingerprint or face cannot. Our comparison of biometric and RFID clocking sets out where each one fits.
