It's relatively simple to have some hologram/watermark technology that 
makes the card much harder to clone, and the main biometric that's 
present is the photo. No doubt the employer will also be making some 
kind of report to the authorities, who have some chance of spotting 
suspicious multiple-use of the same card.
