Record Time (Timestamp)

Punch

Depending on how your Punch tile is configured for you, it can be used to record several activities:

  • Record In- and out-punches
  • Cancel meal or break deductions
  • Start a new shift
  • Transfer time to another job, labor category, or work rule

Record your time

To record your time, click Punch.

A message then appears along with:

  • The time of the punch
  • Labor category, work rule, or job transfers, if any
  • Canceled meal deductions, if any

If there is a problem with your punch, a failure message displays with the reason for the failure.

Optional tasks

You might also be able to do the following from within your Punch tile:

  • Cancel Deductions — Deductions are automatic breaks built into a shift. For example, if you have an 8.5-hour shift with half-hour break deduction, you are paid for 8 hours. If you work through the break, you may be able to cancel the deduction while recording your timestamp.
    • Next to Cancel Deductions?, click Yes to cancel all automatic meal and break deductions. If you have multiple deductions within a shift, all the deductions will be canceled within that shift.
  • Transfer — To transfer your time, click the Transfer box and select the applicable business structure, cost center, labor category, or job from Transfer panel.
    • To add a job transfer or work rule, click Advanced.
    • To add a job transfer, select the job from the drop-down list or click Select Location(s)... In the Select Locations box, click Clear Locations, select a new location, and then click Select.
    • To change a work rule, select a work rule from the drop-down list.
