Employee Events are generated when Employee Points rules exceed the established parameters and trigger your progressive discipline program. These rules are part of Attendance Point Tracking, which is a process for recording and reporting attendance infractions. Employee Event work rules and Employee Points work rules determine attendance infractions by comparing discrepancies between employee's schedules and their actual time worked.

For example, an Employee Event may be recorded when an employee is assessed 10 points within a period of 180 days, for which your discipline program stipulates that an employee receive a written warning. A listing of an employee's exceptions can be found in the Events tab on the Review Time Card screen.

The Employee Events work rule type includes the following work rules:

Base Points Violation Event
Points Award Event
