To define an Attendance Policy:
- Select the Attendance Policy option under the Schedules and Rosters tab in the left navigation menu
- Click the New button in the top menu
- Fill in the fields
- If Early In Bring Forward is set to Yes, any punches that are earlier to the shift start time will be saved as having punched in at shift start time. Ex. if shift starts at 06:30 and I punch at 06:15, my punch in time will be 06:30.
- The Early In Threshold refers to the amount of minutes before the shift during which punch times are brought forward to the start of a shift. Ex. if shift starts at 06:30,the threshold is set to 30 (minutes) and I punch in at 06:00, my punch time will be registered as 06:30 since it is within 30 minutes before the start of the shift. If on the other hand I punch in at 05:59, the actual punch in time will be recorded since it is not within 30 mins of the start of the shift.
- The Late Out Move Back is similar to the early in threshold. Instead, late punches within the threshold are registered at the shift end time, rather than the actual punch out time.
- Click Save from the top menu to save the Attendance Policy.
