PC50 User Guide- 40
In the Rounding tab, you define how your punches will calculate. Rounding adjusts a punch
to an even increment of time. With rounding, there must be a setting that triggers the punch
to adjust forward or backward - this is the break point.
You can set how punches round on the Pay Class General tab and also thru the Schedules
icon.
There are 3 selections for rounding:
There are 5 selections for rounding:
Not Selected = No rounding, punch to punch calculations (Note: This is the default setting.).
1/4 Hour = 15 minute round with a 7 minute break point.
1/10 Hour = 6 minute round with a 3 minute break point.
1/1 Hour = minute to minute calculations, no rounding (choose this if you do not want to
round punches but you do want to use the extended break amount feature).
15/3 Hour = 15 minute round with a 3 minute break point.
Not Selected = No rounding, punch to punch calculations (with this selection the extended
break amount feature is disabled).
If you need to define rounding rules other than these, you can do this in the Rounding Rules
tab at the Schedules icon.
Examples:
1/4 Hour punch rounding is selected.
An employee punches at 8:09.
Since :09 is after the 7-minute break point, the punch rounds to 8:15.
An employee punches at 8:06.
Since :06 is before the 7-minute break point, the punch rounds to 8:00.
An employee punches at 8:07.
Since :07 is at the 7-minute break point, the punch rounds to 8:15.
Punched Break Rounding
With punched breaks, the amount of time the employee was punched out is rounded instead of
the individual punches. If the break punches fall within the break settings, the break length will
be deducted even if the employee was only punched out for a short time. The break will start
at the time of the Out punch for the break.
Examples:
A 30 minute break is setup and 1/4 Hour punch rounding is selected.
An employee punches Out for break at 12:09pm and punches back In from
break at 12:30pm.
30 minutes will be deducted since the break length was set for 30 minutes,
even though the employee was only punched out for 21 minutes.
