Time Clock

Time Clock screen will provide a way to capture true start and end times for scheduled activities such as Start of Shift, Breaks, Lunch, and End of Shift. Alternatively, rounding rules can be applied which will snap the times to the assigned scheduled times if the punches fall within a specified before and after buffer duration of the assigned schedule.

To access the Time Clock screen:

1. Log in to ProTrack Warehouse.

2. Select Time Clock under the Kiosk menu. The Time Clock screen appears.

   Round Time	Punches that fall within the configured buffer duration will get rounded to the assigned schedule.
   Before Mins	Buffer duration before an assigned schedule of the Clock In and Clock Out punches. If the punch falls within this buffer duration, then the punch will be rounded to the assigned schedule time.

By default, this option is disabled which will automatically end the lunch for the employee by using the duration found in the assigned schedule.
