Poland's Supreme Administrative Court (SAC) has recently ruled that an employer is not entitled to collect employees' biometric data in the form of fingerprints in order to record employees' entrance and exits times, even if the employees consent.There's that word again: consent.
But if the article is accurate, Poland's Supreme Administrative Court actually seems to be saying that, technically, worker's can't consent to fingerprint time-and-attendance in much the same way that children can't legally consent to certain acts.
I wonder what they would say if a firm wanted to raise wages with the money they saved by implementing a biometric time-and-attendance system.
