Employee clocks

You can configure the Recalculate Task to recalculate the employee records of all employees who performed any clock swipes since the last time the task ran.

The clock-processing task, which typically runs multiple times an hour, can be set to recalculate the records of employees who perform clock swipes. The task will recalculate the records according to the Auto Recalc settings of the employee’s calculation group.

For performance reasons, you can configure the Recalculate Task do the work instead. Set the Auto Recalc parameter of the clock-processing task to false to avoid redundant recalculations.

The Recalculate Task performs these steps:

  1. Finds all clocks processed since the last time the task ran.
  2. Determines the pay period start and end dates for each clock, for each employee.
  3. Recalculates the records as defined by the start and end date.

This parameter of the Recalculate Task is relevant to the recalculation of employee clocks:

Select this check box to recalculate employee clock swipes. This option ensures that the employees to be recalculated are not duplicated. Employees who have clocks and overrides are only calculated once, even if both options are selected.
