Types of Events

ARRIVAL_DEPARTURE:START
ARRIVAL_DEPARTURE:END

Used to post an Arrival or Departure event using the Add Time Mark button in the web timecard.

Arrival and Departure events allow employees to record their arrival and departure times during the day by recording a timestamp entered by the employee. Arrival and Departure events can be posted any time of the day and in any order and are independent of the other punches on the timecard.

Arrival and Departure events are typically used by non-exempt employees to record their arrival, departure, and break times. These events are posted based on the honor system and are not validated against an employee’s schedule or other punch events.

Arrival and Departure events can be posted from the web timecard using the Add Time Mark button. They cannot be added to a Menu Tree or posted from a terminal, the Web Time Clock, or the Mobile Client.

You can also import Arrival and Departure events using the Action import context.

Arrival and Departure events will be visible in the Punch Time tab of the timecard. If the allow_timemark Form Setting is enabled, these events will also be visible on the Daily tab of the timecard. On the Daily tab, these events will display grouped together at the top of the timecard, above the other events.

Arrival and Departure events can also be viewed on the Action form.

Arrival and Departure events cannot be exported or included in reports.

or

ATTENDANCE:EARLY DEPARTURE

ATTENDANCE:HOLIDAY

ATTENDANCE:LATE_ARRIVAL

Used when the employee clocks in later than their scheduled start time. 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). A Late Arrival event is triggered only upon Clock In. It is not triggered by the ATTENDANCE service.

 

ATTENDANCE:MEAL

Used when resuming work after a meal. Inserts the timestamp when the employee returns back to work from a meal.

or

Used when departing from work for a meal. Inserts the timestamp when the employee stops work and starts a meal.

 

ATTENDANCE:NO_SHOW

Used when the time reporter fails to properly report their time. If an employee does not clock-in during their scheduled shift, and their posted hours (including hours from Time Off and Vacation events) are 0.0, the No Show event will post the scheduled hours less any hours posted automatically by the ATTENDANCE service. The No Show tab on the Attendance Policy form is used to configure if the ATTENDANCE service should post a No Show event.

 

ATTENDANCE:OUTSIDE_GAP

An Outside Gap event typically posts between a clock out and a subsequent clock in. For example, if someone leaves the facility and then returns, you can track the time in between. The Outside Gap tab on the Attendance Policy form is used to configure if an Outside Gap event should post. An Outside Gap event is triggered only upon the subsequent Clock In. It is not triggered by the ATTENDANCE service.

 

ATTENDANCE:SHORT_DAY

Used when a time reporter's posted paid hours are greater than 0.0 but less than their scheduled paid hours for a day. The event posts the difference between the scheduled paid hours and the total paid time on the day. The Short Day tab on the Attendance Policy form is used to configure if the ATTENDANCE service should post Short Day events.

 

ATTENDANCE:SICK

This event is posted for sick time.

 

ATTENDANCE:SUSPEND

Used to automatically post scheduled events such as fire drills and team meetings. The SCHEDULED_EVENT service will start and/or end the event so employees do not have to post the event themselves. The labor, break, or meal event that was in progress when the Suspend event started will still be in progress when the Suspend event ends.

The service will post the Suspend event automatically based on a schedule defined on the Scheduled Events form. The schedule determines whether the service will post the event as a punch event or an elapsed event. The schedule also defines the post date and timestamps or duration of the event.

TRANSIENT:ASSIGNMENT

When a person is assigned to a Home Location (HOME_LOCATION_HR), Job Code, or Position via the Employee Assignment, this assignment is for a specified date range. There may be times, however, when a person needs to change their assignment for only part of a day (e.g., in order to work in a different location or to receive a Job Code or Position premium). In these cases, the person can use a Transient Assignment event.

A staged TRANSIENT:ASSIGNMENT event has a start time and a stop time. This event type may be used when the transfer does not occur immediately, such as when a person transfers to a location that is some distance from their home location. For example, you may transfer to a department in another building. You start the TRANSIENT:ASSIGNMENT event in your current location to indicate you are “in transit.” When you reach the other building, you end the TRANSIENT:ASSIGNMENT event by selecting the new location. You then begin working in the new location.

The application includes the following TRANSIENT:ASSIGNMENT events for changing job code, home location, or position:

TRANSFER_JOB_CODE

TRANSFER_LOCATION

TRANSFER_POSITION

 

TRANSIENT:ASSIGNMENT_IMMEDIATE

This event type is similar to the TRANSIENT:ASSIGNMENT event. However, you do not have to specify the start and stop times for this event. A TRANSIENT:ASSIGNMENT_IMMEDIATE event changes the person’s job code, home location, or position without requiring a start and stop time. When you post this event, the job code, home location, or position you select immediately takes effect.

The application includes the following TRANSIENT:ASSIGNMENT_IMMEDIATE events for changing job code, home location, or position:

TRANSFER_JOB_CODE_IMMEDIATE

TRANSFER_LOCATION_IMMEDIATE

TRANSFER_POSITION_IMMEDIATE
