The following is an example of the Rounding Rules tab in the Pay Policy Settings module. This 
menu will allow you to customize your rounding rules. 
Meal Rules Tab – Pay Policy 
The following is an example the Meal Rules tab located in the Pay Policy Settings module. This 
tab will allow you to define the Meal rules for a group of employees. Start by selecting Yes to 
the question "Do you want time deducted for a meal?" Next enter the Minimum hours that an 
employee must work before the Meal rule will be applied, followed by the length of the Meal 
deduction. 
Once a meal deduction is defined, you have the option of whether the employee will punch out 
during the meal period. If so, you must define whether rounding will apply to these meal period 
punches. When an employee punches IN and OUT for their meal, the window that these 
punches occur in must be defined so that the meal will not be deducted twice. To prevent meal 
punches from being deducted twice, check the box next to the question “Do employees punch 
at meal time?”
