 Select the applicable rounding type from the
Rounding Type drop-down menu.
 None (No Rounding): Accumulates 100% of all
time registered on the clock.
 15 Minute (7/8 Rounding): Rounds and calculates punches to the nearest quarter hour (15 minutes). The
split occurs in the middle of each quarter hour.
To Illustrate:
An In punch of 7 minutes 59 seconds’ rounds back
An In punch of 8 minutes 00 seconds’ rounds forward
Example:
An In punch of 7:52 am would calculate as 7:45 am.
An In punch of 7:53 am would calculate as 8:00 am.
 15 Minute Slant (10/5 In, 5/10 Out): Quarter hour rounding similar to above except the break point
occurs on the 5th minute or 10th minute depending on whether it is an In punch or an Out punch.
To Illustrate:
An In punch of 4 minutes 59 seconds’ rounds back
An In punch of 5 minutes 00 seconds’ rounds forward
An Out punch of 9 minutes 59 seconds’ rounds back
An Out punch of 10 minutes 00 seconds’ rounds forward
Example:
An In punch at 7:49 am would calculate as 7:45 am.
An In punch at 7:50 am would calculate as 8:00 am.
An Out punch at 4:49 pm would calculate as 4:45 p.m.
An Out punch at 4:50 pm would calculate as 5:00 p.m.
 10th Hour: Rather than rounding the punch hours, this selection calculates punches from the tenth hour
point and advances each six minute.
Note: the rounding rule selected affects all punches system wide. The original punch time remains
unchanged on the employee timecard. The punch (shift) hours round per the rounding rules set.
