Special Note Regarding "Punch Rounding"
When calculating employee hours, it is a common business practice to round to the nearest
quarter or tenth of an hour. The EP800 supports both punch and totals rounding. However, it
is important that you understand how punch rounding works before setting the EP800.
Rounding only affects calculations, and actual punch times are always printed on the time
card.
First you must determine the proper rounding unit. If you want to round to the tenth of an
hour, then the interval is 6 minutes. If you want to round punches to the quarter hour, then
the interval is 15 minutes.
The following Rounding Units are available within the EP800:
1. None (exact minute)
2. 6 minutes with a 3 minute breakpoint (tenth of an hour)
3. 15 minutes with a 3 minute breakpoint (quarter hour)
4. 15 minutes with a 7 minute breakpoint (quarter hour)
The following is an example of 15 minute rounding with a 7 minute breakpoint.

For Rounding, there are two options: Hourly Rounding and Punch Time Rounding.
Using Hourly Rounding, the recorder calculates the hours from time IN punch and time OUT
punch, and rounds that result with the "Rounding Unit". The fractions that occur after rounding
will be omitted by breakpoint.
Using Punch Time Rounding, the recorder rounds both the time IN punch and the time OUT
punch, and then it calculates the hours from the time IN punch and the time OUT punch. When
rounding the time IN punch, it will raise the fractions that occur and, for the rounding of the
time OUT punch, it will omit the fractions by breakpoint.
