By default, Dayforce uses the tardy rules set in an employee’s time entry policy. However, if an attendance policy uses raw clock entries to track attendance (that is, the policy is configured with Raw Clock Entry selected in the Tracking Based On drop-down list), Dayforce uses the Attendance Tardy Rules set in the attendance policy instead. This means that you need to configure attendance tardy rules only for attendance policies that are set with raw clock entry tracking.
You can configure the rules in Pay Setup > Attendance in the Attendance Policy tab, in the Attendance Tardy Rules sub-tab for the attendance policy.
Dayforce shows a subset of the fields it shows for tardy rules in time entry policies in the Shift, Meals, and Breaks tabs.
Only the shift settings are described in the table below. However, the same settings exist for meals and breaks.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Arrive early minutes |
The ranges in minutes that, if an employee is early by, the rule assigns to the corresponding pay code:
In this example, you set up five ranges of time, each incrementing by five minutes. With this configuration, if an employee is early by up to five minutes, the rule assigns the first pay code, up to 10 minutes, the second pay code, and so forth. The last, set to 5,000 minutes, is used to mark employees who are later than 20 minutes. 5,000 doesn’t represent an amount of time an employee would ever actually be late or early by. Instead, it’s set to an impossibly high value to cover cases greater than 20 minutes. |
