The Warning Policy form is used to configure the timecard exceptions that can be displayed on the Time Card Review form and to display warning flags in the timecard.
You can include the AUTOMATIC_CLOCKOUT_WARNING and TRANS_ACTION_MESSAGE in your Warning Policy to display a warning flag in the timecard if the ATTENDANCE service posts an automatic clock out or if a transaction is not imported to Shop Floor Time correctly.
The Exceptions in the Warning Policy will appear on the Time Card Review form when a supervisor checks Show Only Exceptions. Exceptions include the following:
Employees who have not signed all the specified days on their timecards
Employees whose hours worked do not match their scheduled hours
Employees who worked outside their schedule, even if the total number of hours worked matches their scheduled hours
Employees with paid hours that received a rate other than the standard rate
Employees with excused or unexcused absences
This policy can be assigned to a single Employee/Person via the Employee Setting form, to an Employee Group with type POLICY_GROUP or FACILITY via the Employee Group Setting form, or to all users via the System Settings form. An Employee setting overrides an Employee Group setting, which overrides a System Setting. See Settings Precedence for more details.
The Time Card Review form will use the Warning Policy that is in effect on the current day for the supervisor who is logged into the application.
