Handling Exceptions – Late Entries or Early Exits

Late entry exceptions occur when the employee’s first punch is after his/her scheduled start time. Early exit exceptions occur when the employee’s last punch is before his/her scheduled end time. You must review these entries and decide whether you wish to pay none, some or all of the missing time.

Note: There may be times when an employee has a Late Entry or Early Exit and wishes to use an absence to cover the missing time. If this is the case, follow the instructions to add a Partial Absence in the “Handling Exceptions – Late Entries or Early Exits (Add Partial Absence)” Section.

1. Follow the steps from the Reviewing Notifications section, select Late ins/Early outs.
2. Select the record by clicking on it. You will know which record is selected because the whole row will be highlighted.

Hover your cursor over the Exception Notification and a pop-up window will explain what the exception is.

1. Review the Exceptions in the Additional Data panel on the right. Click on the down arrow to expand the section to see the details of each exception.

Note: if you can’t see the Additional Data panel click on the button.

1. To view the exception options, click on the drop-down menu in the Exception window.

Pay exception by contract rules: this is the default behavior.

Do not approve exception: this does not add the missing time into the paid attendance.

Approve exception: this does add the missing time to the paid attendance.

Partially approve exception: this allows you to add some of the missing time to the paid attendance. If choosing this option, you must also specify how much time to pay in the Paid Value section (please note this is in hours and minutes not decimal).

1. Save your changes by clicking the Calculate and Save button.

1. Review the Daily totals in the Additional Data panel on the right.

Note: you will have to save the record once approved using the Calculate and Save button but if you have more records that require attention you may continue to address them and do a final save before you leave the attendance screen.
