Return Rounding

The settings on the Return Rounding tab belong to a Rounding Policy and determine how time will be rounded when an employee returns from break.

Note: When calculating whether a time reporter is inside or outside of their schedule, the system applies the schedule's Applicable Start and End Times.

The Return Rounding settings are similar to the Leave Rounding settings. For examples of how these settings work, see Leave Rounding Examples.
