You can restrict relay control clock entries based on an employee’s schedule. For example, you could use this functionality to prevent employees from gaining access to their work area when they aren’t scheduled to work.
Dayforce dictates if relay control clock entries are valid for the employee schedule based on the value selected in the Employee Schedule Validation drop-down list in the employee’s time entry policy. For example, consider a time entry policy that’s configured to allow relay control clock entries only at the beginning of a shift. In this scenario, Dayforce allows clock entries only at an employee’s scheduled start time, in addition to the Exception In Early and Exception In Late times configured in their time entry policy.
To configure the clock to restrict relay control clock entries based on the employee’s schedule, in the <validations> section of the clock config file, add the following line:
<validation name="Relay Control Employee Schedule Validation" class="com.dayforce.devices.validationframework.validation.RelayControlEmployeeScheduleValidation" active="yes" order="200" supervisor="no" />
This configuration grants supervisors the ability to perform relay control clock entries regardless of whether they’re scheduled. To set up a requirement that supervisors must also be scheduled, change supervisor="no" to supervisor="yes".
