Add Clocking

A Clocking is a coined term referring to a time punch entered into the system, similar to "punching a clock". Clockings are usually created by swiping a badge at the badge reader, registering through the Quick Badge screen in the system, or calling in through the TimeCall system. A clocking can also be manually added to the system using the Add Clocking screen.

Click on the following links for more information on entering clockings:

Authorized users are able to edit, view, and/or delete clocking records from the TCS (Time Card Screen). During the calculation process, the clocking is determined to be either an In punch or an Out punch. Click on the Calc Me Now button to immediately run the calculations process on the employee.

Depending on the access role of the user, these transactions may need to be approved by a supervisor before they are in effect. Click on the links below for more details.

Note  

Users can enter a future clocking (after the current date and time) when they have access to the Employee Clocking - Future Clocking policy. The maximum number of hours in the future of the clocking is determined by TA Application > Parameter TA Solution Standard Integer 4.
