An employer may not demand that employees use an attendance clock based on a fingerprint

A local authority demanded employees that their time print will be done by a fingerprint based attendance clock.

The National Labor Court held that biometric data, including fingerprints, is a private data and rights are jeopardized by a demand to furnish such data and in accumulating biometric data.  Because these are basic constitutional right they may be jeopardized only by law or pursuant to an authorization under law.  It is the right of the employee not to agree to the use of a fingerprint for biometric time registering and an employer may not demand registration of attendance by a fingerprint.
