4-12 Time Guardian v4.0 User’s Guide
Rounding Rules Tab – Pay Policy
Rounding was created so that employers could define rules that would allow employees’
punched time to be rounded to a defined unit. The time that the employees’ punches move
forward or backward is based on a defined point. This allows all of the hours to be better
managed for payroll purposes. Time Guardian allows you to apply the defined Unit and Point to
individual punches (Punch Rounding) or the daily total of hours worked by an employee (Daily
Rounding). For Punch Rounding, you must specify the Unit and Point individually for both the
IN and OUT punches. A Time Simulation tool has been included in Time Guardian to test your
settings. See Troubleshooting Calculations for more detailed information.
The example table below is provided to give you a visual example of where a defined Unit
starts and ends. Time Guardian only allows the Unit to be one of the following numbers: 1, 3, 6,
15 or 30. Selecting 1 would be minute to minute, thus no example is shown.
