Linking attendance data and shift timings
EazeWork HRMS uses the following method to identify the shift / date of the employee
– Suppose an employee is mapped to a shift with following timings
- Shift Start Time - 22:00
- Shift End Time - 07:00
Based on these shift times the day is divided into three parts
- Pre shift hours : 14:30 to 21:59
- Shift hours : 22:00 to 06:59
- Post shift hours : 07:00 to 14:29
Attendance can be marked between -
Pre Shift Start Time : 14:30 (same day)
Post Shift End Time : 14:29 (next day)
Date | In Time | Description | Status |
5-Aug | 16:00 | System marks him present on 5th with an In-time of 16:00 | Early by 6 hours |
6-Aug | 11:00 | System marks him present on 5th with an In-time of 11:00 | Late by 13 hours |
6-Aug | 14:00 | System marks him present on 6th with an In-time of 14:00 | Late by 16 hours |
6-Aug | 23:00 | System marks him present on 6th with an In-time of 23:00 | Late by 1 hour |
Employee's time stamp in all the three time intervals will be considered as the time for the day. Every shift will have a span of 24 hours including the pre shift + shift + post shift hours. In the above example employee can mark his attendance for 6-Aug till 14:29 am on 6-Aug. If he punches in at 14:30 on 6th then it will be considered as early punch for 7th.
If the shift pattern of an employee is changing from a morning to a night shift
or vice versa there are some additional checks and rules applied. Consider the
following scenario
- Morning Shift : 05:00 to 14:00
- Night Shift : 22:00 to 07:00
- Day Shift : 09:00 to 18:00
1. Change from Night to Morning shift – This change will not be allowed as there is a direct overlap between end of night shift and beginning of morning shift
2. Change from Night to Day shift – this is allowed but in this scenario if the employee comes at 08:00 on 8-Aug he will be marked as Present for 7-Aug but late by 10 hours. A batch job will close attendance of 7-Aug at 08:59 and any time stamp on or after 09:00 will be considered as attendance for 8-Aug
3. Change from Morning to Night shift – If employee is mapped to Morning shift
till 7-Aug and is then mapped to Night shift from 8-Aug then
- Post shift hours for 7-Aug Morning shift are till 21:29 of 7-Aug
- Pre shift hours of 8-Aug Night shift will be extended to 21:30 of 7-Aug so
that there is no time interval left which is not mapped to a day
