Late Arrival

The Late Arrival tab on the Attendance Policy form defines the event that will post if the person clocks in later than their scheduled start time.

Late Arrival is a "tardy" event and is calculated based upon the ROUNDED time stamp of the clock in measured against the earliest normal schedule for the post date (including overtime schedules).

Note: A Late Arrival event is triggered only upon Clock In. It is not triggered by a scheduled ATTENDANCE service instance.

Late Arrival Field Descriptions

Enable Late Arrival

When this box is checked and a late arrival occurs, a Late Arrival and/or Early Departure event will post, depending on which event is listed in the Event Name column (see below).

Note: If a late clock in was punched on a client terminal, the LABOR_ALL_MT service must run before the event posts to the timecard.

Post on Signed

When this box is checked, the ATTENDANCE service will post the event on days that have already been signed (by an employee, supervisor, or both). If this box is not checked, the ATTENDANCE service will not post the event on signed days.

A split day in a 9-80 schedule may have only the first or second half of the day signed. The ATTENDANCE service will examine each half of the split day separately when it checks for signatures, and will post the event on the half that complies with the Post on Signed setting. For example, if Post on Signed is not checked, the ATTENDANCE service will post the event on the half that is not signed, but will not post the event on the half that is signed.

Event Name

Identifies the tardy event that will post if the person clocks in later than their scheduled time (LATE ARRIVAL). Late Arrival is calculated based upon the ROUNDED time stamp of the clock in measured against the earliest normal schedule for the post date (including overtime schedules).

Points

This field defines the number of penalty points that will be posted for the person when they have an occurrence of this event. This field is only available when the Points Enabled box is checked for the Attendance Policy.

Ruleset Name

Identifies the Attendance ruleset that applies when the Late Arrival event is triggered. The ruleset you select will determine the conditions needed to post the event, which event to post, how many hours should be posted, and how many penalty points, if any, to post. For example, you may select a ruleset for late arrivals in which a person who is less than two hours late will receive a tardy event and no penalty points, but a person who is more than two hours late will receive an absence event and one penalty point.

The Ruleset Name is optional. If you select a ruleset, these rules will override the Post on Signed, Event Name, and Points settings for the Late Arrival policy.
