Out of Shift Approval

Overview

The Out of Shift feature in TimeLogix is designed to track worked time recorded outside the shifts assigned. Normally, the time recorded outside the shift assigned is not account for pay, however if needed, you could approve this time to be added to the total hours that will be paid to the employee.

At a glance: Lets say an employee has been assigned a shift from 9am - 6pm. And the employee happens to clock in at 8:50am and clock out at 6:04pm. His total time recorded for the day "if the shift was assigned" will be 8 worked hours accounted for pay and 14 minutes recorded outside the shift. (Below is a picture of how you would see this information in the software)
"If the shift was not assigned", meaning your time tracking settings do not require the use of shift, then the total time recorded for that day will be 8 hours and 44 minutes.
