The company i work at is currently implementing such a solution. Complete unnecessary facial scan, it was fingerprint previously and the reader still accepts the same fingerprints as of now. In addition we're going to get a phone app that tracks whatever we have logged on for our shift and if not then our location and sends us a notification. From the production managers perspective, it fully automates working hours calculation, though he has to approve any shift change manually. From our perspective, it's supposed to notify us automatically if there isn't enough work for third(night) shift and notifies us that we don't have to come. Though we do still get paid for it. Good EU workers protection laws. Personally I'm rather on the fence about it. I'm most definitely going to refuse the facial scan on the basis that fingerprint works as well and anything more is unnecessary. Though still thinking a good reason to refuse the mobile app and tracking part.
