Rounding Rules

• System rounds start and end of shift punches to the nearest quarter hour
• Union employees should check with their collective bargaining agreement
• The split occurs in the middle of each quarter hour
• The system records and posts the exact punch to the timecard but uses the rounded punch for calculating the paid hours
• Meal break start and shift punches do not round to the quarter hour to ensure a bona fide meal break

Clocking in/out shift example:

• 7:54 pays as 8:00 punch (rounds forward)
• 8:07 pays as 8:00 punch (rounds back)
• 8:08 pays as 8:15 punch (rounds forward)

Combined example:

• 8:53 to 9:07 pays 9:00
• 9:08 to 9:22 pays 9:15
• 9:23 to 9:37 pays to 9:30
• 9:38 to 9:52 pays to 9:45
