There are many advantages for organization that use biometrics for security purposes and even more numerous are the potential advantages. Current advantages include easily being able to restrict access to certain areas by fitting them with a biometric reader such as an Iris scan which has no false acceptances. Some organizations have fingerprint readers to access any area of the building, the advantage is being able to track employee movement on a daily, weekly, monthly and annual basis, this in turn helps to know how your employees are allocating their time. Biometrics can also be used in tandem with tradition security measures such as numerical passcodes to ensure complete protection against false access. With biometric's having false acceptance rates of .0001% and false rejection rates under 1% the odds are that the organization will actually save employees time by implementing a biometric system since the odds they will misenter or forget a passcode once a day are relatively high. Potential advatages of using biometric devices also include saving money in the long run. For example, some employees admit to punching out for their friends at work so they can leave earlier, this causes a drop in productivity. with biometrics, if the person leaves early there is no way around him getting paid less, thus the productivity does not change.
Every organization stands to benefit form this type of advantage and organizations that have highly restricted areas holding expensive items or important data can ill afford not to have some biometric security in place along with traditional measures.

Biometric identification today offers the highest level of security by positively identifying the authorized physical presence of person at the point of any secured premises access using fingerprints and other biological identifications.
