The parameter list holds a set of parameters that affects the time card calculations performed in IFS/ Time and Attendance. Depending on the employee agreement information and preferred system behavior, the parameters can be used to control various features, as described below:
Parameters that affect calculations reported in the Time Card-Day window:
Max allowed late arrival
Lets an employee clock in after
the scheduled in-time without being docked for it. The latest clock-in time is
at the scheduled start plus the specified value. When you use this parameter,
the result is compensated so that no deviation occurs upon comparison with
schedule time. The parameter value is specified in hours and hundredths.
Max allowed early departure
Lets an employee clock out
before the scheduled out time without being docked for it. The earliest
clock-out time is at the scheduled end time minus the specified value. When
you use this parameter, the result is compensated so that no deviation occurs
upon comparison with the schedule time. The parameter value is specified in hours
and hundredths.
Gross time normal hours
This parameter has been replaced by the Time Base
parameter that you find in, e.g., window Employee Schedules and Rules. Because
of backwards compatibility the parameter must be entered when Time Base is set
to Gross Time Reporting. A value must be specified. Any value will do.
Parameters affecting the clocking information:
Limit for normal clocking
Indicates the limit for what is
considered to be acceptable as the first clocking-in and last clocking-out of
the Normal
type. The first and last clocking within the intervals derived from the
parameter value, the scheduled start and end times, and the flex intervals,
will be recognized as OK. The first and last clocking outside the intervals will
have an error-note attached to it. The idea is to prevent that an employee
that instead should have entered an overtime clocking misses the overtime
compensation.
The parameter value is specified in hours and hundredths. Example:
Schedule start and end: 7:00 - 16:00; Flex interval is +/- 1.00; Parameter value = 1.00
This means that the first clocking-in (if the type is Normal) is accepted within the interval 5:00 - 7:00.
The last clocking-out (if the type is Normal) is accepted within the interval 16:00 -18:00.
Parameters that affect the status in the Time Card-Day window:
Allowed positive diff. to schedule
The maximum value by which an
employee's booked normal hours can exceed the scheduled normal hours without
being marked as deviating. The Calculated not OK status that should have been
entered in the time card is overridden and the clocking is shown as approved
for authorization. This lets you authorize the un-fulfilled day without
difficulties. The parameter value is specified in hours and hundredths.
Allowed negative diff. to schedule
The maximum value by which an
employee's booked normal hours can fall short of the scheduled normal hours
without being marked as deviating. The Calculated not OK status that should
have been entered in the time card is overridden and the clocking is shown
as approved for authorization. This lets you authorize the un-fulfilled day
without difficulties. The parameter value is specified as a negative value in
hours and hundredths.
Parameters that affect the status in the Time Card-Day window:
Allowed positive diff. between presence and operation hours
The maximum value by which
the operations time can exceed employee hours without being marked as deviating.
The Calculated not OK status that should have been entered in the operation
card is overridden and the clocking is shown as approved for authorization.
This lets you authorize the not fulfilled day without difficulties. The
parameter value is specified in hours and hundredths.
Allowed negative diff. between presence and operation hours
The maximum value by which
operations time can fall short of the employee hours without being marked as
deviating. The Calculated not OK status that should have been entered in the
operation card is overridden and the clocking is shown as approved for
authorization. This lets you authorize the un-fulfilled day without
difficulties. The parameter value is specified as a negative value in hours
and hundredths.
