Australia: NSW Rail Transport adopts Biometric Time-and-Attendance

RailCorp goes biometric for employees (ZDNet - Australia)
The organisation currently requires staff to manually record their time at work on paper time sheets or attendance books, which can introduce errors in payments and is open to employees providing fake times.

When RailCorp rolls out the system in 2012, its team of over 14,000 employees will have their fingers scanned and converted into a mathematical algorithm. RailCorp has stated it will not store images of employee fingerprints.
