Time Guardian Series
– Advanced Meal Module 13-5
Flexible Meal Template
A flexible meal is a meal that can be taken at any time of the day. There are (4) types:
•
Terminal: Employees must press a button on the clock before punching IN and OUT for
breaks. Only works with MTX-15 terminal (function buttons can be used on the MTX-15).
•
Interval: Punches that occur within certain preset intervals are assigned to breaks or meals.
This takes a look at the amount of time an employee punches out for.
•
Sequence: Breaks or meals are assigned in sequential order, and each punch pair is
assigned to a break or meal in the order that they occur. This setting requires an employee
to take a break and meal in the proper sequence.
•
Window: Punches that occur within certain preset windows of time are assigned to breaks or
meals.
