Actual Time vs Adjusted Time

The Actual and Adjusted Times work together based on the Rounding Rules which were setup for the respective shift. If an employee has an early punch for their shift as shown in the example above where the punch is at 7:55 am, based on the rounding rules setup for this shift, their actual punch-in time is rounded to the start time of the shift at 8:00 am . This means that the employee is not paid for the minutes that they arrived prior to the start time of the shift.

Similarly, based on the configured rounding rules for this shift, the punch-out times are adjusted to the end time of the shift so that the employee is not penalized for leaving 5 minutes before the shift-end time.

Note that Rounding Rules are specific to each organization and must be configured and linked to each shift prior to posting the timesheets, so that the automatic adjustment of time takes effect and is reflected in the Adjusted Time view. This has the outcome of enforcing company rules in an equitable manner to those working on applicable shifts as well as decreasing the amount of timesheet adjustments to be done by the Timekeeper.

Total Hours and Shift Type

The Total Hours as highlighted below shows the hours for which the employee is being paid based on the hours worked as shown in the Adjusted Time view, together with rules setup for the shift including if and how lunch should be deducted.  

The Shift Type indicators of N or S identify whether the employee worked on thie Normal or Second/Split Shift respectively.
