Overview

Accurate TimeClock shift information is crucial to your TimeClock operation. Over 1000 different shift schedules and their associated characteristics can be maintained. Use TimeClock Shift Maintenance to assign each employee a default shift code. The shift code controls many of the attributes of TimeClock and adds enormous flexibility to your time and attendance system. You must set up at least one shift if you plan to use the TimeClock feature. Some of the many features controlled by shift setup are: weekly schedules; the ability to clock in early; maximum elapsed time before being automatically punched out; and automatic break deductions.

TimeClock assumes that punches follow the logical order of punch in, punch out to lunch, punch in from lunch, punch out for the day, and prompt accordingly. If Rapid Entry is not enabled in TimeCard & TimeClock Options, an employee can override TimeClock's assumption and make an out-of-sequence punch.

You can specify lunch periods for each scheduled work day. The TimeClock Lunch Punch feature provides a method of capturing employees' time as they punch out and back in from lunch.

You can also set up a specified amount of time to deduct automatically from an employee's hours worked, normal minimum and maximum workdays, settings for missed punches, regular time, overtime, and unscheduled leave options.

Note Do not use the unscheduled leave options if repunches are allowed in TimeCard & TimeClock Options.
