It might be every employer’s worst nightmare: to discover that staff have been feigning sickness in order to take a well-deserved break or attend to urgent personal affairs.
According to a new study by leading employee risk and benefits management firm Aon Consulting, a staggering 120 million sick days a year are taken across Europe for reasons other than genuine illness. Of these, 35 million are taken by British employees. All in all, this costs employers an incredible €40 billion.
Significantly, Aon also asked the surveyed employees what measures would dissuade them from taking phony sick leave in the future. Along with the ability to take ‘social days’ away from the office, the provision of flexible working options was the most common request.
Indeed, it is likely that more and more companies will turn to flexible working in the fight to reduce absenteeism.
Mitrefinch provide computerised time and attendance systems which allow employers to implement and monitor flexible working patterns throughout their business.

Mitrefinch take Biometric Time and Attendance to the next level
As part of a continuing commitment to new product innovation and development, Mitrefinch are pleased to announce that they are now incorporating Lumidigm’s patented multispectral imaging technology into their biometric time and attendance terminals.
The introduction of Lumidigm’s pioneering technology represents a major advancement for the biometric time and attendance industry. By capturing high-quality images, Lumidigm’s Mercury Series fingerprint sensors provide accurate enrollment and verification for all users, even when fingerprint ridges are hard to distinguish due to genetics, age, dirt, finger placement, or environmental conditions such as moisture, temperature and bright ambient light.
For Mitrefinch’s customer base, Lumidigm’s sensors will eliminate common real world performance problems that occur when users can’t enroll on standard fingerprint devices, which often leads to user frustration, an increase in system costs, lower productivity and can breed resistance to universal biometric technology adoption.
"The integration of Lumidigm technology greatly enhances the overall application of Mitrefinch's biometric time and attendance solutions", said Allan Murdoch, Mitrefinch Australia Business Development Director. “The robustness of the Lumidigm Mercury sensor allows our customers to have a biometric solution in environments where standard fingerprint readers were not previously feasible.”
Commenting on the partnership, Lumidigm’s Director of Business Development, Seth Miller, said, “Mitrefinch was quick to understand the value of Lumidigm technology and incorporate it into their advanced customer solutions. Time & attendance is an important market for Lumidigm and Mitrefinch is an excellent partner in that space”.
The Mitrefinch biometric time and attendance terminal with integrated Lumidigm Mercury technology will be available in Australia from July.
