Add Flexible Timetable
Add a flexible timetable for employees that requires total working hours rather than fixed check-in/out times.
On the timetable page, you can add a flexible timetable for employees, which does not require a fixed check-in/out time but requires that the staff's working time (from the start time you set) is equal to or greater than the predefined work hours.
Steps
- Click Time and Attendance → Timetable to enter the timetable settings page.
- Click Add to enter the add timetable page.
- Create a name for the timetable.
You can click the color icon beside the name to customize the color for the valid timetable on the time bar.
- Select the timetable type as flexible.
-
Select a calculation method.
- First In & Last Out — The first check-in time is recorded as start work time and the last check-out time is recorded as the end-work time.
- Each Check-In/Out — Each check-in time and check-out time is valid and the sum of all periods between adjacent check-in and check-out times will be recorded as the valid working duration. You need to set Valid Authentication Interval for this calculation method. For example, if the interval between card swiping of the same card is less than the set value, the card swiping is invalid.
-
Optional: Enable Enable T&A Status to calculate according to the attendance status of the device.
This function should be supported by the device.
- Optional: Enable Calculate Break Time into Attended Duration.
When enabled, break time will be calculated into the overall attendance duration. That is, the actual attendance duration equals the overall attendance duration (includes break time).
-
Set the related attendance time parameters:
- Working Hours — The employees' working hours should be equal to or greater than the set value.
- Start Time of Timetable — Calculate the working hours of each day from the set value. For example, if you have set the working hours as 8 hours and the start time of timetable as 9:00 am, and staff A checked in at 8:00 am and checked out at 5:00 pm (effective working hours are 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, totalling 8 hours), the attendance result for staff A will be calculated as normal.
- Click Save to add the timetable.
