Schedule (Setting Calculation Rules)
Selecting the schedule or calculating rules for the schedule determines the
features that may be set. First determine which zone will best meet your
needs. In most cases the Free Zone schedule meets most company's needs.
Free Zone
or "Open Shift" rules permits employees to punch IN and OUT
without being assigned to a fixed schedule. Employee's times are calculated
using elapsed time or punched IN time subtracted from punched OUT time.
Using this selection is the easiest and most popular form of totalizing
employee's hours worked.
Free Zone allows for Auto Lunch deduction and permits you to select the
length of the break. You may also choose the number of regular hours worked
before overtime is calculated. You may also select the maximum hours an
employee is on the clock when it would be considered a "forgotten" out punch.
Using the Free Zone calculating rules will permit easy, accurate totalizing of
your payroll hours.
Time Zone
or Fixed Schedule rules are designed for companies that have
all
employees on one assigned shift. Time Zone rules allows for assignment of
"start" and "stop" times of the shift with GRACE times with early or late
punches printing in RED. Time Zone permits three break periods.
Time Zone rules may also be used with Free Zone rules under certain
circumstances. Taking advantage of all these features will require additional
programming time but will offer an advanced time and attendance system.
The ES1000 has many advanced features offered only in the more expensive
Time and Attendance Systems. Selecting the type of schedule or calculating
rule, Free Zone or Time Zone, activates the features available. See the chart
below.
