If you don't want your employees to start their working day before the scheduled time, you can activate automated clock-in times.
1- Automation
Automations are used to bring the start time back to the scheduled time.
1.2 How the automation works
Shift start rounding is used to bring any entry clocking *effected earlier* back to the scheduled time, according to a set time window.
For example, let's take a shift from 8am to 4pm, with a time window of 15 minutes.
Anything clocked in between 7:45am and 7:59am will automatically be brought forward to 8am, the scheduled start time.
Anything clocked in before 7:45am, ex. 7:26 am, will not be adjusted.
Anything clocked in after, ex. 8:03am, will not be adjusted (unless you have set a rounding time as described in point 1).
1.2- Activate the automation
An administrator can activate the rounding of entries by following these steps:
Go to the ''Settings'' tab of the main menu
Click on the ''Attendance'' submenu option
Scroll down to the "Automation" section
Activate the setting(s) of your choice from among "Shift's planned start time"
Set the time window, ex. 15min and save
1.3 Conditions to be respected
For automated clock-in to work, these time entries must have been clocked in by your employees.
This means that time entries that have been clocked in automatically or that have been created manually by you or your employees will not be rounded.
In addition, your schedule must always be published BEFORE the scheduled shift.
