What if I don’t clock exactly on time?

Topic: 
Reporting Time Worked by Clocking

EmpCenter is programmed with some leeway.  For each clock in/out slice, EmpCenter will round to the nearest 10th of the hour after subtracting out the meal. 

For example, you clock in at 7:58 am and clock out at 5:00 pm and take a 1 hour meal, a total of 8 hours and 2 minutes for the day.  EmpCenter will convert the 2 minutes to .03 (2/60=.03, for a total of 8.03 hours) and will round down to 8 hours.  If you clock in at 8:01 am  and clock out at 5:04 pm for a total of 8 hours and 3 minutes, EmpCenter will convert the 3 minutes to .05 (3/60=.05) and round up to 8.10 hours.
