Adding a Department Follow
As you continue to set up your uAttend account, you may realise that your employees will need to be separated into individual departments, with different rules. The department's section of uAttend lets you accomplish this with ease.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The rounding rules set by the department will apply to all clocks, including breaks and lunches. If this is not appropriate for your organisation, you may wish to disable this feature.
After clicking Add Department, a pop-up with the department options will appear on the display.
General
- Code is what appears on the employees’ timecards. This can be the department name, an abbreviation, or a number.
- Department Name is what you will see on the uAttend portal, on the Departments tab.
- Day Changes At - This is the time the system will switch to the next day on the Timecard. Clockings made after this time will show on the following day.
- Maximum Shift - Maximum number of hours an employee can work in a shift. Going over this amount will prompt the employee to clock in again rather than clock out. It will also mark them as Missing.
- New Shift Starts - This is the number of hours that must elapse before an employee is able to clock in again.
- Night Shift? - This setting allows employees to cross the Day Change Time threshold. For example, if you have an employee working overnight, they can punch in on one day and punch out on the next. Not setting this for an overnight department would cause a missed punch to show on the employees’ timecards.
