Use the auto-deduction program to ensure that your employees are entering time for regular or daily non-work situations, such as breaks or lunches. You can set the system so that for every four hours the employee is clocked in, the system deducts 15 minutes for a break.
To set an auto deduction:
From the System > System Files > User Control menu, select User Maintenance to display the User Maintenance screen.
In the User ID field, enter the ID of the user or user group for which you are setting Time Clock options.
Use the Addl hot key to display the Additional Data screen.
From the Additional Data screen, select Time Clock to display the Time Clock Options screen.
In the Auto Deduction (Min) field, enter the number of minutes to deduct.
In the After (Hrs) field, enter the number of hours after which the system should deduct the time entered in the previous field.
Press Esc to save your changes and return to the Time Clock options screen.
Press Esc twice to exit User Maintenance and save your changes.
