How Many Time Device and Submission Rule Sets to Create

You can link only one time device and one time submission rule set to a device processing profile.

Use rule sets to link rules to people with similar validation and submission requirements for events from third-party time devices or Web Clock. You can link as many time device rules to a rule set as you want. When you create a time submission rule, you also automatically create the corresponding rule set because each submission rule set can contain only one rule.

Use these questions to help you decide the rules that you require:

• Do you want to validate time device or web clock events against published employee schedules and designated shift limits? Or do you want to accept all time entries automatically? Shift limits consist of a grace period, start and end early and late periods, and start and end early and late violation types.
• Do you want to validate that certain employee groups satisfy a specified minimum rest period between shifts?
• Do you want to automatically save time card entries created with the time device or web clock events and submit the time cards? What conditions, such as the type or number of events cause an automatic save? What conditions, such as number of events, duration, or schedule, cause an automatic submission? For example, automatically submit time cards after the eighth time event on the last day of the time card period.
