WaspTime In/Out Group Options
Unpaid Buffer In / Unpaid Buffer Out
This setting gives organizations the ability to allow early-in and late-out, while including an unpaid buffer before and after the
schedule. Employees can begin or end shifts significantly earlier or later than usual, and the organization can still exclude the de
minimus* time before and after shifts, such as time spent getting coffee or walking to the workstation.
With an Unpaid Buffer set to 10 minutes, an employee who clocks in earlier than 10 minutes before his or her scheduled start
time, or later than 10 minutes after his or her scheduled end time would be paid for the entire time.

Punch-In 7:30 AM Punch-Out 4:20 PM
Total Punched-In Time: 8 hours, 50 minutes
Paid Time: 8 hours, 50 minutes
The 30 minutes before the scheduled in and 20 minutes after scheduled out are paid.
Conversely, if an employee clocks in within the 10 minute buffer before the scheduled start-time, he or she will not be paid for the
time between actual clock-in and scheduled start. Many organizations require workers to be at their stations at the start of their shifts,
so workers may need to arrive a few minutes before the scheduled start of the shift to accommodate for this. If this preparation does
not have a protected paid status (please see Preliminary and Concluding Periods for information about protected paid periods), it can
be excluded from paid time. Typically, buffers more than 10 minutes in length are not considered de minimus and must be paid, but
WaspTime will allow you to set this buffer to any length.

*De minimus is Latin for “of minimum importance” or “trifling.” Essentially, it refers to an item or a difference that is so small that the law
does not refer to it and will not consider it. In time and attendance, de minimus is often used to excuse small rounding amounts and other
adjustments to time to make accounting easier. Refer to your local and federal laws for specific applications of de minimus rounding.
