Configure the Clock+ to Accept Unassigned Clock Entries

Configuring the Clock+ to accept unassigned clock entries involves enabling “in with position transfer” functionality on the clock.

To configure the Clock+ to accept unassigned clock entries:

1. Assign each clock to one location in Pay Setup > Clock Devices.
2. Note: Each location that’s eligible to accept unassigned clock entries requires its own unique Clock+.
2. Create clock device groups in Pay Setup > Clock Device Groups and assign clocks to each device group in Pay Setup > Clock Devices.
3. Add a new button for the “in with position transfer” function to replace the existing Start Shift button. Alternatively, add it separately as a secondary button in Site Setup > Clock Configuration using the following sample code:
4. <function id="in_with_position_transfer" key="F2" punchtype="Punch_In"
   class="com.dayforce.devices.android.function.PunchInWithTransfer"
   icon="shift_start_transfer" camera="yes" submit_bio_failure="yes" />
4. Assign employees who will be using this feature to the appropriate clock devices group in People in the Work > Clock Group Assignment screen.
5. Verify that the Allow Clocking at Unassigned Locations checkbox is selected in your time entry policy (in Pay Setup > Time Entry Policy in the Main tab).
6. Ensure that your clock codes are assigned and configured for the correct length and are unique in Org Setup > Organization and Org Setup > Jobs and Job Assignments. After they’re assigned and configured, set them in the clock’s configuration file in Site Setup > Clock Configuration. Clock codes are also known as transfer code lengths:
7. <transfer_code_length>4</transfer_code_length>
7. Verify that job assignments exist at the relevant locations using Org Setup. Otherwise, a work assignment will not show up in the drop-down list, nor will a work assignment be created.
8. To create the work assignments based on where the clock is assigned, go to System Admin > Client Properties and click the Properties tab. In the Time and Attendance section, locate the Cost Time Entries Against drop-down list and select Clock location in the list.

Note: For more information about any of the steps outlined in this process, see the specific topics in this guide or in the Dayforce Implementation Guide.

Keep the following in mind with this functionality:

• Each site requires its own unique Clock+.
• Employees must have an existing work assignment record that has a matching job at the new location to perform the transfer clock entry at that location.
• If work assignment rates of pay or any other work assignment based attribute exists, the application uses the rate or attributes of the most recent work assignment record that has the matching job.
• Automatically generated work assignments don't have an effective end date and are always created as secondary work assignments.
