In the Start Labor Grace Minutes field, define the number of minutes that an employee may clock in prior to the Start Labor Hour without allocating the time punch to the Clock-in Labor Date.
As an example, the time punch allocation method chosen in the Labor Pay Rule has been set to allocate the hours of a time punch to the clock-in labor date. The Start Labor Hour is 6:00 a.m. and the employee clocks in from 5:50 a.m. to 10:50 a.m. If the you do not define the Start Labor Grace Minutes, then all 5 hours are allocated to the first labor date, rather than the second labor date starting after 6:00 a.m. If you set the Start Labor Grace Minutes to 15, then the 5 hours worked are allocated to the second labor date starting after 6:00 a.m. As a best practice, define a value when the allocation method in the Labor Pay Rules is set to use Clock-In Labor Dates.
