Employee Home Department

Every employee added to uAttend gets assigned to a home department, it is typically the department that the employee spends most of their workday in, such as Sales, or Manufacturing. The majority of the rules that affect timecard calculations, such as overtime and lunch deductions are applied at the department level.

Notes:

• Employees will inherit the department-level settings from their home department.  This will determine their configurations for things like breaks, lunches, overtime, start and end zones, lockouts, etc.  This does NOT change when a department transfer is performed.
• When a home department is modified, upon recalculating the timecard, all time and attendance data (including the past) will also be modified.  Export and make a record of historical data prior to making a change that will impact the time and attendance data integrity.
