Rounding Configuration

Overview

Rounding may be configured without setting Department Shifts. It automatically applies to all punches captured by clock. If there are multiple clocks present, you must set rules for each clock you want to round any punches.

Soft Scheduling and Rounding should not be utilized simultaneously.

Rounding rules are not retroactive. If you are setting rules for the first time, they will apply to punches going forward only and will not apply to punches that have already been captured.

Before You Begin

Rounding Options

Before configuring rounding it is important to know the different options available for rounding time and how they impact timecards.

Quarter Hour Rounding

If Quarter Hour rounding is active, all shift Start or Stop punches will be adjusted to the nearest quarter of an hour.

This table shows how punch times will vary from Actual to Rounded with Quarter Hour rounding.

Actual Time Rounded Time If an employee punches between... The punch will calculate as though it were captured at... 7:00 am - 7:07 am 7:00 am 7:08 am - 7:22 am 7:15 am 7:23 am - 7:37 am 7:30 am 7:38 am - 7:52 am 7:45 am 7:53 am - 8:07 am 8:00 am

Tenth Hour Rounding

Tenth hour rounding adjusts shift Start and Stop punches from their actual value to the nearest 1/10 of an hour when calculated.

This table shows how punch times will vary from Actual to Rounded with Tenth Hour rounding.

Actual Time Rounded Time If an employee punches between... The punch will calculate as though it were captured at... 6:58 am - 7:03 am 7:00 am 7:04 am - 7:09 am 7:06 am 7:10 am- 7:15 am 7:12 am 7:16 am- 7:21 am 7:18 am 7:22 am- 7:27 am 7:24 am 7:28 am- 7:33 am 7:30 am 7:34 am- 7:39 am 7:36 am 7:40 am- 7:45 am 7:42 am 7:46 am- 7:51 am 7:48 am 7:52 am- 7:57 am 7:54 am 7:58 am- 8:03 am 8:00 am
