Rounding
Timelogix Software can round off time and attendance information in two of the standard ways in the industry approved by the Department of Labor. It can round off to the nearest quarter and to the nearest 10th of an hour.
The round feature can be a manual procedure, or it could be automated based on your company settings. You could also choose to round off the arrival and departure time only, or including the logs for breaks.
Rounding off in 15 minutes increments
If you apply this feature, it means the employee's arrival and departure time will be rounded to the closest quarter of an hour when calculating the time cards; then all the time logs will be either at 00, 15, 30, or 45.
Time records between 53 and 07 will be modified to 00 (53,54,55,56,57,58,59 => 00 <= 01,02,03,04,05,06,07)
Time records between 08 and 22 will be modified to 15 (08,09,10,11,12,13,14 => 15 <= 16,17,18,19,20,21,22)
Time records between 23 and 37 will be modified to 30 (23,24,25,26,27,28,29 => 30 <= 31,32,33,34,35,36,37)
Time records between 38 and 52 will be modified to 45 (38,39,40,41,42,43,44 => 45 <= 46,47,48,49,50,51.52)
Rounding off in 10th of an hour
If you apply this feature, it means the employee's arrival and departure time will be rounded to the closest tenth of an hour when calculating the time cards; then all the time logs will be either at 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 ,36, 42, 48, 54, or 00
Time records between 58 and 03 will be modified to 00 (58,59,00,01,02,03 => 00)
Time records between 08 and 22 will be modified to 15 (04,05,06,07,08,09 => 06)
Time records between 23 and 37 will be modified to 30 (10,11,12,13,14,15 => 12)
Time records between 38 and 52 will be modified to 45 (16,17,18,19,20,21 => 18)
