NY Times has an article encouraging small businesses to make the most of the technology available to them; it’s not nearly as expensive as most may think.

“I’m in a big practice, and some people work here for a long time and they become friends,” says Clarence Stewart, a podiatrist in Raleigh, N.C. “They know how to beat the system. But no one can fake a fingerprint.”

The product he uses, from a company called Count Me In, in Mount Prospect, Ill., can feed information to QuickBooks and other payroll and accounting programs. Rules can also be set in the system’s calendar so that an employee cannot clock in unless he is scheduled to work at that time.

How much does this productivity booster cost?  From $300 for up to 50 employees.
