Labor Metric Punches

A change punch allows you to process a labor metric change such as a Job or Department switch. For example, if you work as a cashier and as a customer service representative, a Job change punch records when you switch from one job to the other. To extend this example, if the Job switch also requires that you switch departments, a Department change punch will record this switch.

Your supervisor can explain when and which type of punch to use depending on the requirements of your organization.

The labor metric change punch allows you to change one of the following labor metrics depending on the configuration of the clock:

Department
Docket
Job
Project
Time Code

Note: The labor metric label will vary depending on your organization's requirements and the configuration of the clock.

To process a labor metric change punch:

Access the HTML Clock on your supported device. For more information on how to do this, see Accessing the HTML Clock.
Enter your badge number and select Advanced.
If PIN authentication is enabled, enter your PIN and select Enter.
From the Type drop down list, select the labor metric that you would like to change.

The system displays a list of possible values for the change selected in the previous step.
Select a labor metric value directly, or if you know the value’s name you can start typing the name in the Search field to narrow your search.
Select Submit to confirm the selection.
If your punch is successful, a confirmation message is displayed on the screen showing your name, badge number, type of punch, and the date and time of the punch. Select OK to acknowledge the confirmation.

If your punch is not successful, an error message is displayed on the screen. The error message that is displayed depends on the validation rules defined in the clock configuration.
