Wiki: MISSING CLOCK PUNCHES

The identification of missing punches for scheduled time has two components:
1. In/Out prediction
2. Missing punch time code

In/Out prediction is based on the following information:#

Set up in IDWR (Details Tab)
1. Track work punches toggle is ON - We predict that will have an IN punch at the beginning of the shift and an OUT punch at the end of the shift
2. Track meal punches toggle is ON - We predict that will have an OUT punch before meal and an IN punch after the meal; - This is usually set up in cases where meal time is unpaid, and an employee needs to punch out/in for lunch
Gap in time between work times

We predict an IN punch after each gap in time;
By default the system considers a new shift if the gap between work times is more then 2 hours;
If this gap in time needs to be overridden, please use MAX BREAK TIME rule.

Note If business need requires uneven clock punches, the prediction will not help to identify missing punches. In this situation we recommend to set up the MISSSED PUNCH time rule as a second indicator for possible missing punches

Below are the expected results when we track meal time.

Note - Example #17 should be ignored in Clock Punch situation; it does not make sense here.

Attention:#

For Split Shift - if there is a need to clock IN/OUT for additional time on split time in order to have the time generated, that time needs to be scheduled because otherwise time for those clock punches will not be generated. For example, clock IN at 2:00 pm and clock OUT at 4:00 pm; you need to add the time in split time (add an ad hoc time exception from 2 pm - 4pm), otherwise time for that clock punches will not be generated.

As of 20081124 we support Float Meal functionality. In order to have in place this functionality, in ITSS meal time should be defined as “Float Lunch”
