Acroprint Attendance Rx - Manual (Page 18)

Shifts
A shift can be defined as a set of rules enforcing Company policy pertaining to Employee’s
hours worked and lunch breaks. When an employee is assigned to a shift, the software then
refers to set of rules defined for that shift and applies them to the employee's transactions in
order to derive the total time accumulations.
There are twelve shifts and lunches available in the Attendance Rx software package. Each
shift may be defined differently with its own set of rules. These can be broken down into two
groups, as described below.
Editing Shift and Lunch Rules:
• From the main window of Attendance Rx, click the Shifts icon or from the View menu
select Shifts.
• Select one of the 12 shifts to edit from the pull-down menu.
• You may change the name of the Shift by selecting the existing shift and modifying
the text.
• If the selected shift rule is to be enabled, select Shift Rules Enabled so that a check
