5. Shift rules

Shift Rules defines shift start time, stop time, lunch periods, round, grace
and dock times. Employees worked time will be calculated based on
the "Clock Rules" and the rules of the "Shift" the employee is assigned.
The Time and Attendance system allows for 12 shifts or different
schedules. Note: When using "Round," "Grace," and "Dock" features
actual punched time will always be shown on time card. Features are
used for hours worked calculations.

5.1 Shifts

At the main menu, select the "Shift" icon.

5.2 Shift number

Select the number you wish to assign to the shift. You may choose
between 1 and 12 shifts. Click on box to enable shift rules.

5.3 Shift start time

The time of day employees would normally start work. To select
time scroll up/down or enter in either the AM/PM format (5:00
PM) or military format (17:00).

5.4 Shift round start

The minutes before the start time during which employee punches
will be treated as if they occurred exactly on the start time. A 15
minute round would allow an employee punch at 7:45 AM to be
treated as an 8:00 AM punch for the purpose of calculation.

5.5 Shift grace start

The minutes after the start time during which the employee
punches are treated as if they occurred exactly on the start time. A
3 minute grace would allow an employee punch at 8:03 to be
treated as a 8:00 AM punch for the purpose of calculation.
