ABSTRACT: Biometric technology as a means of identifying and verifying an individual’s characteristic is widely used in many aspects of peoples’ lives nowadays. In this regard, Local Government Unit (LGU) uses this technology to provide a more comprehensive system in monitoring employee attendance and how it may affect their performance. The study assesses the impact of the use about the Biometric Attendance Recording System (BARS) on the work performance of Local Government Unit (LGU) employees based on their Individual Performance Commitment Review (IPCR) rating and the respondents’ self-assessment and perception. Noticeably, the majority of the respondents perceived that the use of BARS had a positive impact on work performance.
