Also, what if an employee doesn’t have a right hand? Or even a left hand? Surely we can’t allow discrimination against amputees.

I think this suit is very hokey, but I agree employers need to have another timekeeping method for employees who can’t/won’t use their hands.

OTOH, twice in my life I have noticed that a fellow employee had been assigned the employee number “666”. Both of them had a lot of fun with it. (Maybe electronic techs just tend to be beastly. 😎
