Description

Validates in punches based on configured time frames for employees' scheduled in punches.

UIL:_RejectedPunches-PunchValidation

Note

Note: UniFocus recommends that you use the In Punch Schedule Lockout, Allow Unscheduled rule rather than the In Punch Schedule Lockout rule. The In Punch Schedule Lockout, Allow Unscheduled rule contains all the functionality of the In Punch Schedule Lockout rule, but with the additional capabilities of allowing for unscheduled shifts. For more information, see In Punch Schedule Lockout, Allow Unscheduled.


Tips

Use the In Punch Schedule Lockout work rule to configure a time frame during which in punches are rejected and/or employees receive a warning.

  • Do you want to lock out your employees? If yes, select the check box for Enable Lockouts.
  • Do you want to warn employees that they're punching in outside of scheduled time? If yes, select the check box for Enable Warnings.
  • If you don't need to lock out or warn employees, you do not need this rule.
  • If you're configuring both lockout and warning, any punch outside of the warning grace period but inside the lockout grace period should be warned.

Note: Typically, employees should not clock in more than 15 minutes before their scheduled start time.


ParametersParameterDescription

Enable Lockouts

If selected, lockouts are enabled based on employees' schedules. Employees are not allowed to punch in if they are outside the configured Lockout Grace Pre Schedule and Lockout Grace Post Schedule time frame.

Enable Warnings

If selected, warnings are enabled based on employees' schedules. Employees are allowed to punch in, but they receive a warning message if:

  • They are outside the configured Warning Grace Pre Schedule and Warning Grace Post Schedule time frame.
  • They are inside the configured Lockout periods.

These warning messages appear on the Time Clock screens when employees punch in.

Job Lockout Level 

Determines whether validation of in punches to the scheduled job is required. Options include:

  • None—If selected, employees can punch in to any job to which they have access, whether it is their scheduled job or not.
  • Warn—If selected, employees see a warning message on the Time Clock if they try to punch in to a job for which they are not scheduled.
  • Lockout—If selected, employees can only punch in to their scheduled jobs.

Lockout Grace Post Schedule

The grace period, in minutes, for when employees can punch in after the scheduled start time.

UIL:_RejectedPunches-PunchValidation
UIL:_RejectedPunches-PunchValidation

Example: If you set the grace period to be 15 minutes, employees who are scheduled at 08:00 but do not punch in until 08:16 will not be allowed to punch in. If they punch in at 08:14, the punch is allowed.

Lockout Grace Pre Schedule


The grace period, in minutes, for when employees can punch in before the scheduled start time.

Include Page
UIL:_RejectedPunches-PunchValidation
UIL:_RejectedPunches-PunchValidation

Example: If you set the grace period to be 15 minutes, employees who are scheduled at 08:00 but clocks in at 07:46 will not be allowed to punch in. If they punch in at 07:44, the punch is allowed.

Lockout Message

Enter a custom message that appears when employees attempt to punch outside of the configured lock range.

If you do not enter a custom message, employees see the following default message:

You are attempting to punch outside of the specified lock out range. Your punch will be recorded for Manager approval.

Warning Grace Post Schedule 

Grace period, in minutes, for when a punch is accepted but employees see a warning message on the Time Clock when punching in after a scheduled shift has started.

Example: If you set the warning grace period to be 10 minutes, employees who are scheduled at 08:00 but do not punch In until 08:12 will receive a warning that they are punching in after the established in-punch criteria. If they punch in at 08:08, they will not see a warning message.

Tip

Tip: If you are also using lockouts, your lockout period should be greater than the warning. For example, if you want a 15 minute lockout, your grace period should be between 1 and 14. Lockouts take precedent over grace periods.


Warning Grace Pre Schedule

Grace period, in minutes, for when a punch is accepted but employees see a warning message on the Time Clock when punching in before a scheduled shift has started.

Example: If you set the grace period to be 10 minutes, employees who are scheduled at 08:00 but punch in at 07:47 will see a warning message. If they punch in at 07:55, they will not see a warning message.

Warning Message

Enter a custom message that appears when employees attempt to punch within the configured grace period.

If you do not enter a custom message, employees see the following default message:

This punch may require manager authorization. Press Yes to perform action now. Press No to perform action later at your scheduled shift time.
