You use this activity to define rules governing how certain features of labor tracking work at your site, including employee attendance, default SFC LCCs, and how rollup works. For more information, see Determining Labor Rules.

Fields

The following tables describe fields requiring explanation:

Attendance Rules Tab Page

Field

Description

Automatic Clock-Out At Shift End

If selected, rollup clocks the user out and assigns the normal shift end time, if a user does not clock out at shift end. If you select Signoff in the Action Applied at Clock-Out to SFCs in Work field, rollup also signs off the SFC numbers in the user's SFC Active Work list.

Note Note

If the user performs work in the POD after shift end, rollup does not set a clock out time for the user. If you select Only within Interval in the Clock-In/Out Range Control field, and the user performs work in the POD during the clock-out interval, rollup does not set a clock out time for the user.

End of the note.

Allow Clock-In on Non-Production Day

If selected, allows users to clock in on a day defined as Non-Production for their shift in User Shift Maintenance.

Note that supervisors can always clock employees in on non-production days.

Clock-In/Out Range Control

Only Within Interval: Allows users to clock in only during the clock-in interval, and clocks users out only during the clock-out interval

Only Within Shift and Interval: Allows users to clock in during the clock-in interval and during the shift, and clocks users out only during the clock-out interval and during the shift

Anytime (default): Allows users to clock in and out at any time

Note that you define shifts and clock-in and clock-out intervals on the User Shift Maintenance screen.

Clock-In Control

Automatic Clock-In at Logon: Clocks users in automatically when they log on to the system

Require Clock-In Before Logon: Prevents users from logging on until they have clocked in

Manual Clock-In (default): Clocks users in and logs users on independently

ID for Clock-In/Out

Specifies the value employees use when clocking in or out. The system displays the appropriate label in the Clock-In/Out activity.

Badge Number: Requires users to enter their badge numbers

Employee Number: Requires users to enter their employee numbers

User ID (default): Requires users to enter their user IDs

Note Note

Supervisors always specify other users by user ID in Supervisor Clock-In/Out.

You specify the values for these numbers and ID on the Main tab page, on the User Maintenance screen.

End of the note.

Action Applied at Clock-Out to SFCs in Work

None (default): Leaves the operator's SFC numbers in the SFC Active Work list

Signoff: Signs off the operator's SFC numbers

On Premises Report Retention Period

Sets the number of hours the On Premises Report covers. The On Premises Report displays all user clock-ins and clock-outs during this time period. Managers can use the On Premises Report to determine whether a user has clocked in or clocked out during this time period.

The default value is 48. Leave blank to use the default value.

LCC Rules Tab Page

Field

Description

Use Default LCC for Shop Orders when LCC Not Provided

If selected, inserts the default labor charge code specified in the Default LCC for Shop Orders field into unreleased shop order definitions when the shop order's LCC field is blank. The system inserts no LCC for released shop orders and uses this value when the Create SFC hook point activity runs (see Create SFC).

Default LCC for Shop Orders

Specifies the labor charge code the system inserts into shop orders when you select the Use Default LCC for Shop Orders when LCC Not Provided checkbox

Note Note

LCC Rules tab page controls SFC LCCs. For information about user LCCs, see Cost Center Maintenance and Setting Up Labor Tracking.
