Schedule enforcement
Administrators: To configure devices to validate employee punches against their
schedules, use the host application. The punch rules contain a setting that enables
schedule enforcement. You can tailor the complexity of schedule enforcement to
meet your business needs. Depending on your system configuration, the devices
can do the following:
• Limit how early and late employees can punch in or punch out.
• Enable managers to perform punches for employees, and to override punch
restrictions for employees.
• Prevent employees from punching in when they are not scheduled.
• Enforce meal and break schedules for employees, including minors, to satisfy
state and federal labor laws.
To configure a full array of punch restrictions for the device, see the online help
for the host application.
Default transactions
Administrators: You can use the device configuration settings to set up default
transactions for InTouch DX users. When an employee swipes a badge or enters a
badge ID, the timeclock automatically initiates the transaction that you designate
as the default. Default transactions include punches, labor category transfers, job
transfers, and so on. If you can assign a transaction to a soft key, you can assign it
to a badge swipe or badge ID entry as a default transaction.
You can assign default transactions to home and non-home employees, and to local
and remote readers. If you assign a default transaction to an internal reader, it also
applies to the external reader.
