Configuring Time Approval in the Clock

Time approval records are presented to an employee every time an employee performs a specific swipe. For example, employees could be required to approve their worked time every time they clock-in for a shift. In this example, the time approval function would be associated with the swipe type 01 (clock-in). The employee would then provide a badge and PIN authentication and clock-in on the clock keypad. The employee would then be prompted to process one or more time approval records. When all the records have been processed, the employee will get a confirmation message.

When time approval is associated with swipe type 01 (clock-in), the start of the shift (clock-in) is recorded the moment the employee provides their authentication.

When time approval is associated with swipe type 02 (clock-out), the end of the shift (clock-out) is recorded when the last time approval record is processed. The time spent approving records is included in the shift and the calculation of pay.

An employee can select a pre-configured function key (F1 – F4) on the clock’s keypad to access the time approval function. The employee must provide a badge number and PIN or Biometric authentication (if supported), if configured before they are presented with their records.
