Glossary &
Here is some basic conception for better using:

Pay Class defines the payment period, weekend setting, and
overtime.
Over Time sets overtime levels 1, 2, and 3 to different lengths of
working hours and sets whether the weekend overtime is included into the weekday working hours if
the weekday working hours falls short of the normal working hours.
Pay Code defines the type of salary payment.
Shift Start the time of day employees in this shift is scheduled to begin work.
Shift End The time of day employees in the shift are scheduled to stop working.
Before Check In defines the time range within which checkin before office hours start is valid. Note:
For example, office hours start at 07:00 and Time before Check In is set to 60 minutes. Checkin before
06:00 is invalid.
After Check Out defines the Time range within which checkout after office hours end is valid. For
example, office hours end at 17:00 and Time after Check out is set to 30 (minutes). Checkout after
17>30 is invalid.
Count Latedefines the Time interval (in the unit of minutes) between the Time when office hours
start and the start Time when checkin is considered late.
Count Earlydefines the Time interval (in the unit of minutes) between the Time when office hours
end and the start Time when checkout is considered early.
Breakfor each break code, you may define up to two break slots. You must specify the start and end
Time for each of the slots, as well as whether any incident applies (optional).
Round Value In/Outdefines the smallest unit for rounding the Time of checkin/checkout. For
example, if Round Value In/out is set to 10, the smallest unit of Time that can be included in
attendance records is 10 minutes.
Round Down In/Out rounds up values greater than the value of Round Down and rounds down
values smaller than or equal to the value of Round Down. In and Out correspond to checkin and
checkout.
Round Up In/Outcorresponds to Round Down In/out.
Round rule the number of minutes before the Shift Start Time or after the Shift End Time in which
employees transactions will be treated as if they occurred exactly at the Start or End Times
Schedule sets the attributes of shift scheduling, including shifts and dates of the shifts and the use of
cyclic shift scheduling. You can assign the configured shifts to departments or a single employee.
Date of Hiredefines the date when an employee is hired. When adding an employee, you can take the
current system date as the date of hire by default, or you can change the date. This information is very
important. Enter the correct date.
Operation Mode defines the mode of attendance check. The Hours and salary options are available.
If you select the Hours option, the result of attendance check is independent of parameters such as
Shift, Overtime, Late Come, Early Out, and absence. If you select the salary option, the result of
attendance check is related to parameters such as the shift Time, rounding details during shifts, break
rounding, overtime, checkin late, checkout early, and absence.
Status defines the status of the device. If you click Actives, the device is enabled and you can perform
the following operations on the device> user uploading/downloading, work code uploading, and
record downloading. If you click Inactive, the device is not enabled.
Data Syncsynchronizes data between the system and the device.

Fill normal hours from weekend first? Duration of working time is not met, whether to
use overtime to cover.

Assume that the values of T1 to T6 are specified as above. T represents the end
point of working time.

OT Level 2=T3T2;
OT Level 3=TT3;

If an employees actual daily working hours T are greater than T1 but less than T2, then
overtime at OT Level 1 is the daily working hours T minus T1.
If the actual daily working hours T are greater than T2 but less than T3, the overtime at
OT Level 1 is T2 minus T1, and the overtime at OT Level 2 is the daily working hours T
minus T2. The overtime greater T3 can be calculated in the same way.
If an employees actual weekly working hours are greater than T4 but less than T5, the
overtime at OT Level 1 is weekly working hours minus T4. If the actual weekly hours are
greater than T5, the overtime at OT Level 1 is T5 minus T4, and the overtime at OT Level 2
is the weekly working hours minus T5. The overtime between T5 and T6 can be calculated in
the same way.

Assume that the Time period set in the preceding figure are assigned to
employees.
If an employee checks in at 08:02 and checks out at 17->55 in this Time
period mode, the system rounds down the check-in Time as 08->00 and
rounds up the check-out Time as 18->00. This means the employee is
allowed to check in 2 minutes later or check out 5 minutes earlier than the

Page [ 21 ]

Round Rule The number of minutes before the Time period Start Time or after the Time
period End Time in which employees transactions will be treated as if they occurred

After the setting is completed, the system records any attendance Time in the range of
07>00 to 07>10 as 07>05.
Avoid setting Round Time as Time period Start or Time period End. The Time range of
