1• CLOCKING RULES
Clocking refers to the time someone clocks in and clocks out from timeclock terminals.
TCMS V2 offers 6 attendance columns in 3 pairs. Learn about clocking pair as explained
in the table below.
In-Out - In-Out pair refers to the times when an employee clocks in for work (IN) and
clocks out after work (OUT). Any clocking time that exceeds the OUT time will be consid-
ered as overtime (OT). In-Out pair is a compulsory pair.
Break-Resume - Break-Resume pair refers to the times that a break such as lunch or dinner
starts (BREAK) and the times that a break ends (RESUME). You can choose to deduct the
break time from the total working time or you can include this time into the total working
time. This pair is optional.
OT-Done - OT-Done refers to the time that overtime (OT) starts and the time it finishes
(DONE). It is recommended to use this pair if OT is optional in the schedules time pe-
riod.
Define the times for each pair on every day of the week. For Weekend, all the columns will
be in black shade and you cannot input any time onto the fields.
At every clocking column, you can determine the Round to nearest minutes which means
that the attendance recorded will be rounded to the nearest minutes as specified in the
field
Examples of Rounding:
• If you choose to round up 15 minutes, when an employee clocks in at 9:06am, his IN time will be recorded as
9:15am
• If you choose to round down 15 minutes, when an employee clocks in at 9:06am, his IN time will be recorded as
9:00am.
• If you choose to take a midpoint of 15 minutes, when an employee clocks in at 9:06am, his IN time will be recorded
as 9:07am
2• RANGE RULES
Range is to determine the maximum time that one slot could record before it is consid-
ered as the time for the corresponding slot. For example, if a value for IN is 12:00 and
when a staff clocks in at 12:01, the time will be recorded in Break column instead of in the
IN column. When you set the range for OUT is at 6:00, any time that falls after 6:00 will be
recorded on the next column which is OT column.
You need to set the time for the clocking range of the clocking columns.
Replace with the latest clocking –When you click this checker, TCMS V2 will replace the
clocking data with the latest clocking data after the download process is done. It is rec-
ommended that you select this checker for OUT and DONE columns only because TCMS
V2 will always check the latest OUT time of the users and will publish it on the Attendance
Sheet.
