in the Daily Clocking Schedule. When you define the clocking time(s) in the clocking slots,
Ingress would accept the time and place them into the appropriate clocking columns. For
example, if you put 9:00 a.m. as the IN time, whoever that clocks in at 9:00a.m., the clocking
time will be in IN column.

Define standard time to report:

Rounding & Round to the Nearest Minute -

At every clocking column, you can set the

“Round to the Nearest Minutes” according to your company’s policy. Refer to the table
below as your guide to Round times.

Round up:

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

Round down:

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.

Round mid-point:

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

Allow Grace Period in minutes -

This also depends on your company’s policy, whether it

allows attendance late in or early out? You can set the duration of grace period in min-
utes in the given columns under each slot, if you want to define the grace period or you
can leave them blank if the company does not allow any grace period.

Flexible break time -

This feature allows a company to set a certain duration allowed for

breaks for example from 12:30pm to 2:30pm. During this break time, employees are free
to take their break hour but they have to be mindful of the preset limit. If the company
set the break duration to 1 hour only, an employee who takes a break at 1:00pm must
be back at the office by 2:00pm and those who take a break at 12:45pm, their break ends
at 1:45pm. If an employee exceeds the given time, Ingress will leave a remark on the at-
tendance data. Disregard this feature if it is not applicable to your company.

This pair is very important as it shows the first

(In column)

and last records

(Out

column)

This column records the start of the first break time in the

Break column

and the end

time of the first break in the

Resume column

. This column is not compulsory; leave

it if you don’t wish to view the break-resume records.

This column records the start time for overtime in

OT column

and the end time

of overtime in

Done column

This column is also not compulsory. Leave these columns if your company does not

require users to start and end OT at specific times. Leave these column blanks and

Ingress will automatically calculate overtime if an employee logged out after the

standard Out time.
In case your company takes 2 breaks a day, you can treat Out time as the start of the

second break and OT time as the end time of the second break. This way, overtime

will only be calculated if an employee logged out after the standard Done time.
