Clock IN after Lunch

Explanation

This activity is used to clock IN to work after the lunch break. Employees are required to do a normal IN clocking in order to clock IN after lunch. If this IN clocking is within the allowed lunch IN period, the clocking will be registered as a Lunch type clocking.

Lunch clocking allows employees to use the flex allowances for a lunch break. That is, if employees has clocked a lunch break which is longer than or shorter than the lunch break allocated in the employee's day type the flex balance can be used to compensate for the difference in time.

Note: If the Time Clock is operating in Offline mode the clocking records you create using the Time Clock will not be transferred to IFS/Time and Attendance module immediately. Instead the information you enter will be buffered and when the Time Clock reverts back online it transfers the information to the Time and Attendance module.

• The relevant Time Clock buttons should be configured in the Time Clock Type Details and Time Clock Type Detail Items windows.

Procedure

1. Go to the Time Clock terminal.
2. Click the relevant button to create an IN clocking. Note that button names are defined in the Time Clock configuration.
3. In order to clock IN, you must specify your company ID and employee ID. When you click the button, if you get a dialog box, you can use your swipe card or manually enter the employee ID and company ID in the relevant fields.
   
   Note: Depending on the Time Clock configuration, some of these fields may be automatically filled with default data for your convenience and thereby the fields may be disabled or unavailable for editing. When these values are entered, you can click OK on the dialog box to create the clocking.
   
   Also note that if the relevant button is set to card driven in the Time Clock configuration, you are only required to click the button and swipe your card. Your employee ID and company ID will immediately display in the text panel on the Time Clock.  Therefore, if the card driven setting applies to the button, you will not have to use the dialog box for clocking IN.
   
   If IFS/Manufacturing is installed in the system;
   
   When the resume option specified for the employee in the Manufacturing Labor Class window is Ask for Resume, a warning message will be prompted when employee creates the IN clocking. This will give employee the option of resuming the shop order operations or indirect jobs which were auto stopped on the previous day.
   
   However, if the employee's last auto stop clocking was a team clocking, the Join Team dialog box will open instead of the warning message enabling the employee to join a labor team at the time of the IN clocking. The team from which the employee last clocked out will be selected to the Team field by default. If required you can change this value. Click OK to save the information.
