Need Help With Setting up Lunch Auto-Deduct

Post by Summit »

I am trying to set up a 30-minute lunch auto-deduct in policies, but it is not working. I have several full-time hourly employees that I want their lunch break to be automatically deducted from their time so that they need to only punch in and out one time per day.

Please make sure that your Auto-Deduct Meal Policy is assigned to the proper Policy Group by clicking Policy -> Policy Groups, save any changes and then while viewing an employee's timesheet recalculate timesheets to see the change by clicking the ReCalculate TimeSheet icon.

I've checked and my meal policy is assigned to the correct policy group. I guess what I don't know is whether to set up the auto-deduct meal policy to auto-detect by Time Window or Punch-time. I've set it to be active after 06:30 hours and deduction time is 30 minutes. If by Time Window, what is the Start Window and the Window Length?

Make sure that employees and the "30min Lunch" Meal Policy are assigned to the same Policy Group and recalculate the employee timesheets by clicking Attendance -> TimeSheet, and then clicking the ReCalculate TimeSheet icon.
