Clock OUT for Lunch
Explanation
This activity is used by employees to clock OUT for lunch. Employees are required to do a normal OUT clocking in
order to clock OUT for lunch. If this out clocking is within the allowed lunch OUT period, the clocking will be
registered as a Lunch type clocking.
Lunch clocking allows employees to use the flex allowances for a lunch break. That is, if employees has clocked
a lunch break which is longer than or shorter than the lunch break allocated in the employee's day type the
flex balance can be used to compensate for the difference in time.
Note: If the Time Clock is operating in Offline mode the clocking records you create using the
Time Clock will not be transferred to IFS/Time and Attendance immediately. Instead the information you enter will
be buffered and when the Time Clock reverts back online it transfers the information to the Time and
Attendance.
