RESET_LABOR_METRICS_WHEN

Description:

This parameter determines when labor metrics, such as jobs or projects, are reset after being changed by clock swipes.

The parameter accepts two values:

  • END_OF_SUMMARIES: Labor metric change punches are effective from the time they are made until the end of the day. When users perform labor metric clocks to change their labor metrics, such as changing their project, the new labor metric value is effective until the end of the day and are applied to the work details of multiple shifts. For example, if an employee works a shift from 10:00 to 14:00 and a second shift from 18:00 to 22:00, and at 11:00 the employee changes their job to Maintenance, the new job code is effective from 11:00 until the end of the day. The work details between 11:00 and 14:00 and the entire second shift, 18:00 to 22:00, include the Maintenance job code.
  • LAST_OFF_SWIPES_WITHIN_SCHEDULE_BOUNDARY: Labor metric change punches are only effective for the shift during which they were performed. In the preceding example, the new behavior adds the Maintenance job code to the work details between 11:00 and 14:00, the time the job change punch was performed to the end of the employee's shift. The second shift uses the job code from the employee's default labor allocation or the job code from any applied overrides.

    The changed labor metric is reset at the time of the last OFF clock for the shift. As long as there are more pairs of ON and OFF clocks, the change labor metric is not reset after an OFF clock. For example, if an employee scheduled for 9:00 to 17:00 performs a project change at 10:00, the employee can clock OFF for lunch at 12:00, clock IN at 13:00, and clock OFF for the day at 17:00. The changed project is reset at 17:00. If this employee stays late, past their scheduled end time, the changed project is not reset at the end of the shift but at the time of the last OFF clock.

    Also, if labor metric punches are performed before an employee punches in for their shift, the entire shift is marked with the changed labor metric and is reset with the last OFF clock for the shift.
