setting up General Time settings

  1. Go to Settings > Modules. 
  2. In the Modules menu, select the Time dropdown to open the General Time Settings. 
  3. Select the Edit icon located in the upper-right corner of the window. 

The following fields are available for alterations:

  1. Pay Group – This setting serves as the default if no specific pay group is assigned to a location or employee.
  2. Time Format – Select between decimal or minute formats for time entries with quantities.
  3. Default Geofence – The default geofence setting applies to all locations unless overridden at the individual job level. This ensures uniformity in geofence settings across locations without specific configurations.
  4. Shift Alert – The Time Record total hours will be displayed in red text in the Time Editor grid when Time Records exceed the designated duration.
  5. Lunch Time Records – Enabling this function allows your company to enforce lunch breaks by requiring them to clock in and out for lunch.
    Note: Once this function is enabled, you must log out of your WorkMax session and log back in for Lunch Time Records to become available.
  6. In/Out Time Photos – This setting allows for the capture of photos during clock in/out. It can be individually set for facial recognition or enabled universally for all users.
  7. In/Out Time Recognition – When enabled, the system compares in/out time photos against stored records.
  8. Facial Recognition Threshold – Users can adjust the recognition threshold percentage to balance accuracy and tolerance for variations due to lighting or angles.
  9. Only View My Location – Allows users to only see Time Records they are assigned to.
  10. Use Disclaimer – The disclaimer feature can be activated to require users to accept or reject disclaimer terms at the time of clock out. This ensures compliance with any necessary agreements or acknowledgements.
    Note: When a manager clocks in/out a group of employees, they accept the disclaimer at clock out, accepting for all employees being clocked out as well.
