Analysis

To make sure that there aren't any gaps when people take breaks and meals during a shift, select the Out and In application event. Although there's one application event in this instance, the Generate Time Cards from Time Collection Device import process creates two time events. The first time event is an Out event that's immediately followed by an In event. For example, in the PPRMint Stop Shift, Start Break mapping, the Out event corresponds to stopping the shift. The In event corresponds to starting the break.

Payroll elements created for use with time cards provide the default values for the Payroll Time Type time attribute.

Resulting Time Card Entries

Here are the time entries that the Generate Time Cards from Time Collection Device import process creates as someone badges in and out.
