Defining Point Amounts

The point amounts used by Disciplinary Scales are defined from the following areas of the program.

Time Card Errors

Point amounts are assigned to punch errors from the Error Monitoring sections of the program.

Refer to Error Defaults for information on setting up company default error settings which will be used when no individual employee specifications are made.
See Employee Error Monitoring if you would like to specify error settings on a per employee basis. Any individual error specifications will override the default company settings.

As errors begin to appear on employee Time Cards, the “Error” tab allows you to review the errors and set them to a status. Click on the main "Time Card" tab, and then on the "Errors" sub-tab located in the row of tabs directly above the Time Card itself.

The following status can be assigned to Time Card errors.

Status	Description
Open	This is the default error status. This means that a supervisor has not yet reviewed the error. Error points count toward the Disciplinary Scale with an open status.
Excused	This means that the supervisor has excused the Time Card error. No error points are counted toward the Disciplinary Scale.
Reviewed	The supervisor has reviewed the error, and error points are counted toward the Disciplinary Scale.

All changes made to error statuses are recorded by the system. The supervisor also has the ability to add notes with each status change.

Disciplinary Scale information can also be managed from the "My Screen" section of the program. This screen is configured to display the types of Time Card information that you use on a regular basis.

See My Screen for information on setting up and configuring this option.

Absences

An error point amount can be specified for individual Absence Policies in the system. Absences with a point amount specified appearing on the Time Card will also count toward the Disciplinary Scale.

See Absence Policies for information on using this feature.

Custom Disciplinary Actions

Custom Disciplinary Actions are used to create point amounts for policies like Perfect Attendance and Multiple Occurrences (for example).

Refer to Custom Disciplinary Actions for more information.

Manual Supervisor Adjustments

A Supervisor user can manually adjust point amounts from the "Disciplinary Scale" section of the main "Admin" tab.

Click on the main "Employee" tab, and then on "Disciplinary Scales" located in the row of links directly below the main program navigation tabs.
Select the desired Employee from the drop-down menu at the top of the screen Use the and icons to scroll through employees. The icon allows you to search for specific employees by name, card number, SSN, etc.
Each policy that the employee is assigned to is displayed in the Disciplinary Scale section of the screen. To manually adjust a point amount, click on the link located under the Disciplinary Scale column.
Enter a positive or negative adjustment into the Manually Adjusted field, and click on the [CREATE] icon to save the changes that you have made.

Each transaction is recorded with the user name, date, time, point amount, and notes for the adjustment. Supervisor manual adjustments supersede any other automatically generated point amount.
