Leave Rounding Examples

In the following examples, the Rounding Policy has Time Precision set to Minute.

Example – Leave for Break Time Rounding to the Hour

In this example, the employee has a scheduled punched lunch from 11:15 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. The employee leaves for break inside the schedule at 11:16 a.m. The Leave Rounding settings are:

Leave Brk Amount In = 6
Leave Unit In= Minutes
Leave Brk Dir In = Backward
Leave Brk Basis In = Hour

The employee’s leave-for-break time is rounded to 11:12 a.m. (backward to the next 6-minute interval from the top of the hour – 11, 11:06, 11:12, 11:18, etc.).

Example – Leave for Break Time Rounding to the Schedule Event Start

In this example, the employee has a scheduled punched lunch from 11:15 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. The employee leaves for break inside the schedule at 11:16 a.m. The Leave Rounding settings are:

Leave Brk Amount In = 6
Leave Unit In = Minutes
Leave Brk Dir In = Backward
Leave Brk Basis In = Schedule Event Start

The employee’s leave-for-break time is rounded to 11:15 a.m. (backward to the next 6-minute interval from the start of the scheduled event – 11:15, 11:21, 11:27, etc.).
