Set clock-in and clock-out rounding rules

Guide

Choose a rounding period and turn on early clock-in, late clock-in, clock-out and unplanned shifts rounding, so timesheet start and finish times round to the shift start or to the nearest rounding period.

Choose how the start and finish times on timesheets are rounded when members clock in and out.

  1. Click your profile picture in the top right, then click Settings.
  2. Click Time Clock App.
  3. Scroll down to Timesheets rounding and choose a Rounding period: None, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 20 minutes or 30 minutes. Every rounding rule below uses the period you choose here. If you choose None, no times are rounded.

  1. Turn on the rules you want, and each change saves straight away.

In these rules, a shift means the member's rostered shift: the shift on your published roster in Timble for that day and location. It doesn't mean the hours a member usually works. The first three rules only apply when the member has a rostered shift, and Unplanned shifts rounding covers every other clock-in.

The examples below use a 15-minute rounding period and a rostered shift that starts at 9am.

  • Early clock-in rounding: when a member clocks in during the rounding period before their rostered shift starts, the timesheet records the shift start time instead. A clock-in at 8.50am becomes 9am, and a clock-in before 8.45am keeps its real time.
  • Late clock-in rounding: when a member clocks in after their rostered shift has started, the clock-in time is rounded to the nearest 15 minutes. A clock-in at 9.07am becomes 9am, and a clock-in at 9.08am becomes 9.15am.
  • Clock-out rounding: the time a member clocks out is rounded to the nearest 15 minutes. A clock-out at 3.05pm becomes 3pm, and a clock-out at 3.10pm becomes 3.15pm.
  • Unplanned shifts rounding: when a member clocks in with no rostered shift at that location that day, both the start time and the finish time are rounded to the nearest 15 minutes. A start at 9.06am becomes 9am, and a finish at 5.10pm becomes 5.15pm.

Note: Rounding happens when a member clocks in or out, so timesheets that are already recorded don't change. Rounding can move a time up or down, so it can shorten a timesheet as well as lengthen it.
