Time & Attendance Concepts

Aggregated Metrics

The normal hours, overtime and short time for each day are calculated based on the budget hours and the shift setup specified for that day. When aggregating the hours for a week, they are categorised based on days of the week. This categorisation includes Weekdays (Monday to Friday), Saturdays, Sundays, and Public Holidays. This approach ensures that the calculation of hours worked, including normal hours and overtime, is accurately aligned with the specific working conditions of each day of the week.

Exceptions

Efficiently managing exceptions in time and attendance data is crucial, and the employee overview report simplifies this task with integrated filters and bulk management tools. This report highlights several key exceptions:

  • Absent: Indicates a lack of employee activity (clocks or piecework) on a day where the budget hours exceed zero and the day is not marked as optional.

  • Missing Clock In/Out: Occurs when an employee has either clocked in without clocking out, or vice versa.

  • Overtime: Identified when the hours worked surpass the day's budget hours.

  • Short Time: Recognized when the hours worked fall short of the day's budget hours.

  • Extended Day: Indicates when an employee's workday extends into the next calendar day.

  • Missing Template: The employee is not linked to a clock template on a specific day. This can be caused because the employee is not linked to a team, or the team the employee is linked to is not associated with a clock template.

    • Missing template on a weekend can be caused when the clock template is not configured for all the days of the week.

    • When configuring clock templates for different seasons of the year make sure that the templates are linked to each calendar month of the year.

  • Inactive Payroll Period: The employee does not have an open active period for this day. How to add an active period

Total Hours Override

Overrides enable the adjustment of an employee's total daily hours worked, while maintaining the original clocking data.
