Bank holiday hours

This is the maximum number of paid hours to award for a bank holiday.

Clock In grace period (minutes)

This is the amount of allowed minutes for a clock-in, with respect to the shift start time.

For a shift date starting at 8:00, a clock-in at 7:03 is rounded to 7:00 if the minutes past the starting time are less than or equal to the grace period.

Clock Out grace period (minutes)

This is the allowed amount of minutes for a clock-out, with respect to the shift end time.

For a shift day ending at 18:00, a clock-out at 18:57 is rounded to 19 if the minutes past or before ending time are less than or equal to the grace period.

Shift day rounding (minutes)

Rounded minutes are applied for a shift working day.

Clock-in at 6:37 is rounded up to 6:45 using 15-minute rounding step.
Clock-in at 6:32 is rounded down to 6:30 due to the clock-in grace period.

Late arrival grace period (minutes)

If a clock-in is after the shift day's start time for more than the allowed minutes, a Late Arrival comment is added to the Detailed timesheet's Reason section in the Detailed timesheet only.

Break time period

If the break time is not specified on the employee's work pattern, and under the rules tab, you have set for break times to be deducted, this is taken as the default number of minutes deducted.

Shift activity - hours between shifts

Based on the Shift Activity Timesheet.

Specify the timeframe that the report will look at.

Daily Hours Rounding

As opposed to rounding the specific clock-in and clock-out time to the nearest minute specified under the shift-day rounded, you can round the overall working hours that day.

Max hours per Day

Limits the maximum number of hours that can be awarded per day.

This is for both basic hours and overtime hours.

Skip Break Deduction If Worked less Than

No break time is to be deducted for employees working less than half of their hours or below X hours in the shift.

Night shift allowance - shift starts after

Specify what time a night shift starts.

Early clock in round to Clock In time

When you enable this, early clock-ins are set to the shift day's start time.

For a shift day starting at 7:00, any clock-in before that time is set to 7:00.

When you don't enable this, the early clock-in isn't logged to the nearest 15 minutes. Instead, we add to overtime only the time after the work pattern's end time.

Reduce break time

When you enable this, the break time is deducted from worked hours as a default of 30 minutes.

Reduce break time for Part Day holiday

Indicates if break time is deducted in days having a Part Day Holiday.

Reduce break time if less than half time worked

Indicates if break time is deducted when hours worked during the entire day are less than half the expected hours.

If clocked in/out during public holiday put retain holidays hours and place worked hours into overtime

When you enable this and the employees work during a Public Holiday, the holiday hours are paid at a normal rate, and the worked hours are paid at an overtime rate.

When you don't enable this, the worked hours are paid at the overtime rate only.

Include employees without Time Attendance Id

When you enable this, employees without a Time & Attendance ID are included in this report. If disabled, their information is ignored.

Balance Basic using Overtime hours

If enabled, timesheets are updated to balance overtime hours to basic hours when basic hours are less than expected shift hours on a weekly basis.

For a week with expected shift working hours of 40, having 36 hours paid at a basic rate and 10 hours paid at an overtime rate, the balance operation will set 40 hours paid at a basic rate and the remaining six at an overtime rate.

Cap holiday hours to shift hours

The booked holiday hours are capped to the shift day hours.

For a booked holiday of 10 hours on a shift day with 8 expected hours, enabling the option allows the system to pay only 8 hours from the total holiday duration of 10 hours.

Include hours before/after shift or Rest Day as Overtime

When you enable this, any clock in time before or after the work pattern start or end time is taken into account when recording overtime hours via the overtime logbook screen.

Use shift day hours for bank holiday

If an employee clocks in on a bank holiday, the hours on their work pattern will be used rather than the default number of hours under the Time Settings tab.

Add non-deducted break time to Overtime

An hour recorded under the lunch breaks logbook screen will be added to an employee's overtime hours.

Round to shift expected hours

When you enable this, even if an employee doesn't meet the expected hours on their work pattern, their hours are rounded up to their daily total hours.

Adjust break time with manual clock out

When you enable this, it takes into account if an employee clocks in and out for their break time and adjusts accordingly with the default break time that is deducted.

Rest day rounding

If an employee works on a standard non-working day, specify a different rounding rule for these days.

Automatically deduct XX mins for breaks for working non-shift days (This time can be added back in by the employee declaring breaks as working time)

Minutes are to be deducted as lunch breaks whilst working on a non-shift day. Working 10 hours on a Saturday set as a non-working day allows 9:30 hours only to be paid using the default minutes break setting.

Rest day break deduction

The break time is deducted from the worked hours on a rest day.

Rest day use shift start time

When you enable this, the system uses the common shift start time while processing a rest or non-shift day.

Paid events (comma delimited)

List the other event reasons that you'd like to award hours back for, using commas to separate each reason.

Rest Day Paid Events (comma delimited)

List the other event reasons that you'd be awarded back in hours if this is normally a non-working day.

Salary type

Specify which salary type is included in this report, using commas to separate the departments. State this as shown in the Query builder.

For example, Hourly Salary, Annual Salary. Inputting hourly, annual doesn't work.
