Pay Rules - Rounding

Pay Rule - Rounding Setup

Here is where you configure rounding rules,

as well as the abscent setting.

Round: Rounding gives you the ability to edit time transactions to match certain time intervals. You can choose to round all transactions or select transactions according to the type of punch (Shift In and Shift Out, for example). All settiings in each column, apply to that columns heading.

Let's look at each type of setting, and how each is applied. Remember that each of these options appears in each of four columns, so setting the option in a column, applies to that column.
