An employee of the New York City Parks Dept. uses a palm scanner as he arrives for work, in the Queens borough of New York Wednesday March 26, 2008. At workplaces in Birmingham, Ala., Chicago, New York and elsewhere, more employees are starting their days by pressing a hand or finger to a scanner that logs the precise time of their arrival. Manufacturers say these systems improve efficiency and streamline payroll operations, but some employees see the programs as creepy and bureaucratic. (AP Photo/Richard Drew)
