Related Policies

The policies that can be assigned to a group appear throughout the system, and must be individually configured before assignments can be made.

The following list contains a brief description of the available policies, and a link to configuration and setup instructions for each.

• Accrual Policies are used to track accumulated vacation time, sick time, or other types of absences.
• Auto Meal/Break Policies automatically determine the "Break" or "Lunch" status of the punches on employee Time Cards based on the hours and/or minutes between the "OUT" and next "IN" punch.
• Break Policies allow you to track the length of the breaks that your employees are taking without deducting the time from the employee's Time Card.
• Comp Time (or compensatory time) is used to award your employees with paid time off for overtime hours worked. This is opposed to paying them an accelerated rate of pay such as "time-and-a-half."
• Departments allow you to create the department levels that your company uses. Employees are assigned to a "Default Department," allowing you to track hours and earnings on a "by-department" basis. When using a compatible model of time clock, employees can specify which department they are clocking in or out of by using the assigned Department Number.
• Disciplinary Scales allow you to track a point amount accrued by your employees from five areas of the program, Time Card errors, absences, perfect attendance, multiple occurrence rules, and manual supervisor point adjustments.
• Holidays allow you to create a list of the days that are specified by your company as a paid day off. The system automatically generates pay for employees assigned to a holiday, and a holiday rate of pay can be set up for time worked on a day designated as a holiday.
• Maximum Hours Policies are used to limit the number of hours that are paid out to employees on specific pay codes (such as "Holiday" hours). Once the maximum number of hours has been reached, employees will no longer receive hours assigned to the pay code.
• Meal Policies are used when requiring employees to punch IN and OUT for their meal breaks, and can generate errors if the meal break is not taken correctly. Meal Policies can also be configured to automatically deduct a meal break from employee Time Cards when you do not wish to require employees to punch at a clock.
• Minimum Hours Policies are used to guarantee your employees a set number of Time Card hours, regardless of the number of hours worked.
• Overtime Pay Codes allow you to create the Overtime Policies that your company uses. The most common levels of overtime are "time-and-a-half" and "double-time," although multiple other levels are also available.
• Pay Periods are the schedule on which your employees get paid. Each employee in the system must be assigned to a pay period, and only one pay period can be assigned to an employee at any given time.
• Premium Policies are used to give your employees an accelerated rate of pay based on the schedule they work, the department they work in, or at certain times of specific days.
• Rounding Policies are used to round your employees' punches from the time clock according to the policy settings.
