PUNCH CALIBRATION

Punch (Clock In/Clock Out) calibration is used to define how many punches from an Employee should be considered when tracking their time. Based on this configuration, an employee’s total time will be calculated every day.

Max Punches to Consider:

IXM WEB users can define the maximum number of punches to be considered per day for attendance calculation from the dropdown list.

 

If "Two" is selected, First-In and Last-Out will be considered for attendance. Out Time will not be deducted from working hours.

 

If "Four" is selected, Four Punches: First-In, Break Start, Break End, and Last-Out will be considered for attendance calculation. Break duration will be deducted from working hours as per the break policy defined in a shift.

 

If "Infinite" is selected, all punches will be considered for attendance calculation. Out time will be deducted from working hours.

 

In/Out Punch Configuration:

IXM WEB users can define which punches to be considered for attendance calculation.

 

If "FKey" is selected,

• Fkey Punches (check-in, check-out, break start, break end) will be considered valid for attendance calculation.

• Employee work hours, break duration, and out time will be calculated as per the Fkey selection.

• The Employee must select Fkey at the time of authentication to mark the attendance.

If "Device Mode" is selected,

• Attendance will be calculated based on device mode (entry or exit) defined at the time of device registration.

• Employee’s work hours and out time will be calculated as per the device mode (entry or exit).

If "Sequence" is selected,

• In and Out punches will be defined as per sequential logic. For eg: 1st punch – IN, 2nd punch - OUT, 3rd punch-IN, 4th punch- OUT, etc.

• Employee’s work hours and out time will be calculated as per the device mode (entry or exit).

EXTRA CONFIGURATIONS

A few additional settings to help users calculate the employee time more precisely and to remove ambiguity.

Duplicate Punch Period (mins):

Specify the time in minutes between punches that would be considered as duplicate punches (in case an employee authenticates themselves twice by mistake). If the system identifies a duplicate punch then the first punch of the day will be considered as an in punch and the last punch of the day will be considered as an out punch.
