Rounding
Policies
Rounding policies are used to round your employees'
punches from the time clock according to the policy
settings. There are three types of rounding policies,
"Range Rounding," "Interval Rounding,"
and "Shift Rounding."
Range Rounding
A Range rounding policy uses a range of time
during which any punch made at the time clock
is rounded to the specified time.
Example:
The rounding range is set from "7:45"
to "8:15," and the round time is set
to "8:00." Any punch made at the time
clock between 7:45 and 8:15 will be rounded to
8:00.
Interval Rounding
An Interval rounding policy allows you to select
a rounding interval (such as "15 Minutes"),
and a rounding method (as in "Nearest,"
"Up" or "Down"). You can also
select which punches are to be rounded (as in
"All Punches," "First IN Punch,"
"Last OUT Punch," etc.).
Example:
The rounding interval is set to "15 Minutes."
The method is set to "Nearest." The
punches that are selected to be rounded are "First
IN Punches." The first in punch of the day
is rounded to the nearest 15 minutes. No other
punches are rounded.
Shift Rounding
A Shift rounding policy uses "In Zone"
and "Out Zone" ranges which round punches
based on the times that employees are scheduled
to work.
Example:
The "In Zone Range" is set to 10 minutes
before the scheduled start time, and 5 minutes
after. An employee assigned to this policy is
scheduled to work at 2 P.M. An in punch is entered
at 1:54. Since the punch falls within the specified
10 minute range, the punch is rounded to the start
time of 2 P.M.
