Easy Clocking Australia recommends before setting up the Easy Clocking Cloud Software to visit www.fairwork.gov.au or
contact the Fair Work Infoline on 13 13 94 for information about hours
of work, including minimum and maximum hours of work, overtime, rounding
and break obligations.
Overview
The Out of Shift feature in Easy Clocking is designed to track worked time recorded outside the shifts assigned. The time recorded outside the shift will need to be approved for the time to be added to the total hours that will be paid to the employee.
At a glance: Lets say an employee has been assigned a shift from 9am - 6pm. And the employee happens to clock in at 8:09am and clock out at 6:16pm. His total time recorded for the day "if the shift was assigned" will be 8 worked hours accounted for pay and 1.12 recorded outside the shift. (Below is a picture of how you would see this information in the software)
"If the shift was not assigned", meaning your time tracking settings do not require the use of shift, then the total time recorded for that day will be 9.12 hours.
To track Out of Shift worked time - You must Create Shifts .
- Then you must Assign the Shifts to the Employees , this is called scheduling.
- As employees record time, the system will calculate worked time outside the shift assigned as shown above.
How to approve Out of Shift worked time
