The device performs validity check and error tolerance for other formats.
7. How does the self-service attendance terminal collect the correct attendance time based on the preset shift time?
A: The device collects attendance time based on the following principles:
a) Adopt the earliest time for normal attendance and the nearest time for abnormal attendance.
b) Adopt the normal attendance time if the normal attendance time and abnormal attendance time coexist.
c) Adopt a median in the attendance time range.
The following uses four examples to describe the preceding principles.
Example 1: normal attendance
Attendance Time
Range
09:00 — 12:00 13:00 — 18:00
Attendance time of #1
employee
8:30, 8:35, 11:55,12:01, 12:50, 18:02,19:00
Statistical result based
on attendance rules
8:30 12:01 12:50 18:02
Description: The attendance time 8:30 and 8:35 are earlier than the on-duty time 9:00 and they are within the normal
attendance time range. Therefore, 8:30 is adopted for the on-duty time 9:00 based on the principle of adopting the
earliest time for normal attendance. 18:02 and 19:00 are later than the off-duty time 18:00, and therefore, 18:02 is adopted
based on the same principle.
Example 2: Late arrival
Attendance Time
Range
09:00 — 12:00 13:00 — 18:00
Attendance time of #1
employee
9:01, 9:04, 12:01, 12:50, 18:00
Statistical result based
on attendance rules
9:01 12:01 12:50 18:00
Description: Employer 1 checks in for work at 9:01 and 9:04 and he/she is late based on the preset on-duty time. Based
on the principle of adopting the nearest time for abnormal attendance, the correct check-in time is 9:01 rather than 9:04
because 9:01 is nearer 9:00.
Example 3: Early leave
