What Is The Problem?
What happens if employees clock in early for their shift? Do they get paid extra?
If employees arrive early for work and clock in ready for their shift to begin, it is not usually desired that they be paid for those minutes prior to their scheduled shift start time.
In addition, it can be time consuming to manually edit all employees start times.
Hopsy Clock-In Auto-Edits:
If employees clock in early for their shift, Hopsy can automatically snap their clock-in time to their rota start time, but... only if they are early. If they're late, their raw punch time still counts.
How Does It Work?
Changes are automatically made if clocking in just before the hour or just before half past the hour.
If an employee clocks in after 46 minutes past the hour, Hopsy recognises that it's highly likely they are due to start on the hour and so auto-edits their clock record to the nearest hour.
Likewise, if an employee clocks in after 16 minutes past the hour, Hopsy recognises it's highly likely they are due to start at half past the hour and auto-edits their clock record to half past the hour.
What If An Employee Is Late?
Changes aren't made to employees who clock in before 15 minutes past the hour or before 45 minutes past the hour.
For example:
If an employee clocks in at 8 minutes past the hour, Hopsy recognises that it's highly likely that they are were due to start on the hour and so are late for work. No auto-edit will be made in this situation.
Example 2:
If an employee clocks in at 33 minutes past the hour, Hopsy recognises that it's highly likely that they are were due to start 3 minutes ago at half past the hour and so are late for work. No auto-edit will be made in this situation.
Of course Hopsy tells the employee if an auto edit has taken place, and of course managers can override the record back to the original clock-in time if necessary.
