Bank holiday hours: Paid hours for a bank holiday. This specified the maximum paid hours to award for a bank holiday. 

Clock In grace period (minutes): Allowed minutes for a clock-in, in respect to the shift start time. For a shift day starting at 8:00, a clock/in at 8:03 will be rounded to 8:00 (if the minutes past starting time are less than or equal to grace period).

Clock Out grace period (minutes): Allowed minutes for a clock-out, in respect to the shift end time. For a shift day ending at 18:00, a clock-out at 18:57 will be rounded to 19 (if the minutes past/before ending time are less or equal to grace period).

Shift day rounding (minutes): Rounded minutes (applied for a shift working day).Clock-in at 6:37 will be rounded up to 6:45 (using 15 mins rounding step)Clock-in at 6:32 will be rounded down to 6:30 (due to the clock in grace period)

Late arrival grace period (minutes):  If a clock-in is after shift day's start time for more than allowed minutes, a 'Late Arrival' comment will be added to the Detailed timesheet's Reason section - Detailed timesheet only.

Break time period: If the break time is not specified on the employee's work pattern, and under the rules tab you have set for break times to be deducted, this will be taken as the default number of minutes deducted.

Shift activity - hours between shifts: Based on the 'Shift Activity Timesheet', here you can specify the timeframe in which the report would be looking at.

Daily Hours Rounding: As opposed to rounding the specific clock-in/out time to the nearest minute specified under the shift-day rounded, you can round the overall working hours that day.

Max hours per Day: Will limit the max number of hours that can be awarded per today, this is for both basic hours and overtime hours. 

Skip Break Deduction If Worked less Than: No break time is to be deducted for employees working less than half of their hours or below X hours in the shift.

Night shift allowance - shift starts after: Specify what time a night shift starts (ex. 20:00). The report will then look check an employee's work pattern against this setting to determine if they are working a night shift or not. 

Early clock in round to Clock In time: If enabled, early clock-ins will be set to shift day's start time. For a shift day starting at 7:00, any clock-in before that time will be set to 7:00. If disabled, the early clock in will be logged to the nearest 15 minutes, we add to overtime only the time after the work pattern end time.

Reduce break time: If enabled, break time will be deducted from worked hours (default at 30 minutes).

Reduce break time for Part Day holiday - Indicates if break time will be deducted in days having a Part Day Holiday. 

Reduce break time if less than half time worked - Indicates if break time will be deducted if hours worked during entire day are less than half the expected hours.(For 3 hours worked in an expected 7 hour day, the break time will not be deducted if option is disabled.)

If clocked in/out during public holiday put retain holidays hours and place worked hours into overtime:  If enabled and working during a Public Holiday, the holiday hours are paid at normal date and the worked hours are paid at overtime rate. If disabled, the worked hours are to be paid at over tie rate only. 

Include employees without Time Attendance Id: If enabled, employees without a Time & Attendance ID will be included in this report. If disabled, their information will be ignored. 

Balance Basic using Overtime hours: If enabled, timesheets will be updated to balance overtime hours to basic hours when basic hours are less than expected shift hours (week basis). (For a week with expected shift working hours of 40, having 36 hours paid at basic rate and 10 hours paid at overtime rate, the balance operation will set 40 hours paid at basic rate and remaining 6 at overtime rate.)

Cap holiday hours to shift hours: If enabled, the booked holiday hours will be capped to the shift day hours. (For a booked holiday of 10 hours on a shift day with 8 expected hours, enabling the option will allow the system to pay only 8 hours from the total holiday duration of 10 hours.)

Include hours before/after shift or Rest Day as Overtime: If enabled, any clock in time before/after the work pattern start/end time will only be taken into account when recording overtime hours via the overtime logbook screen.

Use shift day hours for bank holiday: If an employee clocks in on a bank holiday the hours on their work pattern will be used rather than the default number of hours under the 'Time Settings' tab.

Add non-deducted break time to Overtime: An hours recorded under the lunch breaks logbook screen will be added to an employee's overtime hours. 

Round to shift expected hours: If selected, even if an employee does not meet the expected hours on their work pattern, their hours will be rounded up to their daily total hours. 

Adjust break time with manual clock out: This setting will take into account if an employee clocks in and out for their break time and will adjust accordingly with the default break time that is deducted. 

Rest day rounding: If an employee works on a standard non-working day, you can specify a different rounding rule for these days. 

Automatically deduct XX mins for breaks for working non-shift days (This time can be added back in by the employee declaring breaks as working time):Minutes to be deduced as lunch break whilst working in a non-shift day. (Working 10 hours on a Saturday (non-working day) will allow 9:30 hours only to be paid using the default minutes break setting. 

Rest day break deduction: If enabled, the break time will be deducted from the worked hours in a rest (non-shift) day.

Rest day use shift start time: If enabled, the system will use the common shift start time while processing a rest (non-shift) day. 

Paid events (comma delimited):List the other event reasons that would like to aware hours back for, using commas to separate each reason. 

Rest Day Paid Events (comma delimited): Much like the above, list the other events reasons that would be awarded back in hours if this is normally a non-working day. 

Salary type: Use this filter to specify which salary types will be included in this report. This will need to be stated as shown in the Query builder ie. 'Hourly Salary, Annual Salary'. Inputting 'Hourly, Annual' will not work.

Reports to: Use this area to filter who you wish to be included in this report. (Example: only employees reporting to "Reports To" will be included).

Departments (comma delimited): Use this filter to specify which departments will be included in this report

Companies (comma delimited): Use this filter to specify which companies will be included in this report

Summary report - show Saturday hours: If enabled, Saturday hours included in the summarised timesheet report will be separated into their own column.

Summary report - show Sunday hours: If enabled, Sunday hours included in the summarised timesheet report will be separated into their own column.

This section is used to select the reasons you would like to be included under the exceptions report that is generated on the front screen of the program after processing has finished. 

Please include the reasons you would like to include as an exception on the right hand side. 

After processing on the front page of the tool you will see a blue hyperlink titled ‘Review Exceptions’
