Time Clock rounding rules allow you to specify when hourly employees can punch in and punch out.  You can also define whether punch in/out times round up to the nearest 5, 10, or 15-minute interval.

Important:  Time Clock rounding rules only affect hourly employees that have This Employee MUST Punch In selected in their employee profile.

The Time-Clock Rounding Rules window displays.

2. Click New.
3. In the Clock Rounding Rule Name field, type a name for the rule.

• Round to Nearest 15 Minutes = Select to round punch in/out times to the nearest quarter hour.
