Punch Parameters

This option allows you to set up company-specific parameters which determine how the system treats with multiple punches in a specific time period. These parameters apply to all in and out punches including lunch and breaks.

Setup Punch Parameters for your Company

Company: Select the company to which the Punch Parameters apply.

Max Work Period (Minutes): The maximum hours an employee is allowed to work in any one day (the system will not record any hours beyond the value entered here on any given day). This must be defined by the company's business rules or local labor laws. E.g. 16 hours x 60 minutes = 960 minutes.

Minimum Time Between Punches (Minutes): The minimum time in minutes entered here indicates that if an employee punches in multiple times within a period of time (e.g. 10 minutes), then only ONE of those punches will be labeled as valid. ALL punches, will be recorded in the Attendance Log screen but only ONE will be flagged as Valid = YES.


Additional factors are also taken into consideration when the punch validity is being determined. These are:

  • If it is the employee's first punch or punches for the day as well as if the punch time is around the start time of the shift, then the app will take the First Punch and flag this as the valid IN punch.
  • If it is the employee's first punch or punches for the day as well as the punch time is around the end time of the shift, then the app will take the Last Punch and flag this as the valid OUT punch.
