Setting Up Clocking Schedules
This chapter guides you on how to set up clocking timetables for clocking
activities to produce accurate attendance reports that match your compa-
ny’s rules and policies.
Scheduling configuration is crucial for your company’s attendance records. Under-
standing how to do scheduling will help you create an efficient attendance system
and failure to do so could cause loss of attendance display onscreen and on the
reports. Once the configuration is completed, users are not required to define their
clocking statuses e.g. check-in, check-out, lunch break, etc at the terminal(s). When
a user verifies his fingerprint at the terminal, the software automatically gets all the
clocking data from the terminals and checks it against the predefined schedules and
group duty rosters. If any of the data is mismatched with the schedules and rosters,
you would observe errors in the reports.
Understanding Clocking Schedules
Different clocking schedules are suitable for different groups of people working at
different times with different rules for the same company. Normal working hours are
usually from 8am-5pm or 9am-6pm, Day Shift is usually set at 8am-4pm, Night Shift
is from 4pm-12am, and Flexi Hours provide flexibility in setting work time. TimeTec
allows configuration of a maximum 999 types of clocking schedules for one environ-
ment.
Type of Clocking Schedules
There are 3 default types of clocking schedules available in TimeTec.
Type Description
Weekly Schedule This schedule applies for one week starting Mondays to Sundays and most regu-
lar offices use this schedule, as their work schedule for every day routine is rep-
etitious.
Daily Schedule This schedule applies for one day and it is suitable for shifts e.g. multiple shifts,
overnight shifts, open shifts, rotational shifts, etc, and mostly applicable to facto-
ries.
Flexi Schedule This schedule is a weekly working schedule that follows flexible hours; mostly
suitable for employees or work that is charged by the hour and reporting to a job
at irregular times.
