Clock OUT with Balance

Explanation

This activity is used to accrue hours to a balance ID when employee clocks OUT from work. That is, when an employee clocks OUT from work after the scheduled OUT time, the additional time worked can be accrued to a balance ID connected to the employee.

When the OUT clocking is created, the employee's identification can either be entered manually or by using a swipe card depending on the setup defined for the Out Balance button.

Note: If the Time Clock is operating in Offline mode the clocking records you create using the Time Clock will not be transferred to IFS/Time and Attendance module immediately. Instead the information you enter will be buffered and when the Time Clock reverts back online it transfers the information to the Time and Attendance module.

Prerequisites

In order to perform this activity, the employee is required to have an open interval in the Time Card Day/Interval tab.

Procedure

  1. Go to the Time Clock terminal.
  2. Click the relevant button for a balance OUT clocking. Note that button names are defined in the Time Clock configuration.
  3. In order to clock OUT, you must specify your company ID and employee ID. When you click the button, if you get a dialog box, you can use your swipe card or manually enter the employee ID and company ID in the relevant fields.

    Note: Depending on the Time Clock configuration, some of these fields may be automatically filled with default data for your convenience and thereby the fields may be disabled or unavailable for editing. When these values are entered, you can click OK on the dialog box to create the clocking.

    Also note that if the relevant button is set to card driven in the Time Clock configuration, you are only required to click the button and swipe your card. Your employee ID and company ID will immediately display in the text panel on the Time Clock.  Therefore, if the card driven setting applies to the button, you will not have to use the dialog box for clocking OUT.
