Glossary
Absence: Based on attendance parameter settings, the case of no check-in or check-out in attendance statistics can
be counted as absence, or late arrival/early leaving for more than N minutes in attendance parameter settings can
be counted as absence.
Actual Attendance Time: It refers to the actual attendance time of an employee on which statistics are collected
based on the check-in/out record in due attendance time during the start and end time. The default unit is workday,
and the statistical rule can be changed in Attendance > Calculation Item > Expected/Actual.
Attendance Duration (Time): It refers to the time span between actual check-in time and actual check-out time.
Attendance Status: It refers to what type of the attendance for punching will be counted in the attendance result.
By default, the system has eight statuses: Check-In, Check-Out, Dinner-Start, Dinner End, OT-In, OT-Out, Break-Out,
and Break-In.
Attendance Timetable: It refers to the timetables possibly used during attendance settings and configuration all
parameters such as work start/end time, permissible time for late arrival/early leaving, whether check-in/out is
mandatory, permissible check-in/out time range, break time, and overtime. This is the minimum unit in attendance
time settings.
Auto Overtime: When the punching time is later than work end time, this parameter determines whether the
excessive time is counted as overtime.
Correction of Status: It refers to determine whether an employee checks in or out by following the attendance
calculation rule according to the shift timetable and attendance time of this employee. The calculation is based on
this status during statistics.
Due Attendance Time: It refers to the duration when an employee should be at work from the start time to the end
time based on staff schedule. The default unit is workday, and the statistical rule can be changed in Attendance >
Calculation Item > Expected/Actual. Specifically, the value is determined based on the unit (workday, hour and
minute) as well as counted workdays and work minutes in the shift timetable.
Due Check-in/Due Check-out: Due Check-in/Due Check-out refers to mandatory check–in/out time in timetable
setting. Yes means check-in/check-out is mandatory, and No means check-in/check-out is optional.
Early Leaving: Early leaving includes the time setting for corresponding timetable and the setting of starting
calculation of early leaving, and whether actual check-out time is earlier than due check-out time in the timetable.
On the other hand, if Mandatory Check-out in the timetable is set to Yes and the attendance parameter is Ending
Work Without Check-out is Counted as Early Leaving for N Minutes, the actual time without check-out is counted as
early leaving for N minutes. The time of early leaving does not affect the work minutes for attendance calculation.
Exception: It refers to the leave time during this timetable.
Flexible Shift: It refers to a default attendance shift set in the system. It is a cycle of flexible timetable within a week.
If an employee works in a flexible schedule and attendance checking is required, a flexible shift can be arranged. If
an employee has a punching record without a shift arranged, the attendance is calculated based on flexible shifts
and classified as some overtime such as overtime on days off or on holidays. The flexible shift is applicable to business
owners, business personnel, service staff and order-oriented production people.
Flexible Timetable: It refers to a default timetable set in the system. In the settings of a flexible timetable, the work
delay is not counted as overtime, and late arrival, early leaving or absence is not counted. The attendance calculation
for a flexible timetable is second punching time minus first punching time, fourth punching time minus third
punching time, and so on. The line numbers of its report are generated automatically. If four records exist, the daily
report on that day has two lines. If six records exist, the daily report has three lines. Besides, the attendance time in a
timetable is check-out time minus check-in time of this timetable.
Late Arrival: Late arrival includes the time setting for corresponding timetable and the setting of starting calculation
of late arrival, and whether actual check-in time is later than due check-in time in the timetable. On the other hand,
if Must Check-in in the timetable is set to Yes and the attendance parameter is No Check-in, Count as Late 60 Minutes,
BioTime 8.5 User Manual 1

the actual time without check-in is counted as late arrival for N minutes. The time of late arrival does not affect the
work minutes for attendance calculation.
Must Check-in/Check-out: In some companies, only check-in or check-out is carried out. If check-in or check-out is
set to be mandatory, corresponding items are included in the range of attendance.
No Check-in/No Check-out: No Check-in/No Check-out refers to the times of no actual implementation in the times
of due check-in/due Check-out.
Permissible Late Arrival/Early Leaving: It refers to the permissible time for late arrival/early leaving before the
designation of late arrival/early leaving starts during specified work time.
Role: When using the system, a super user needs to assign different levels to new users. To avoid settin
g users one by one, you can set roles with specific levels in role management, and assign appropriate r
oles to users when adding users.
Schedule: It refers to what kind of shift will be used in a timetable for employee attendance. It is a main basis for
calculating attendance results. If an employee works in a flexible schedule and attendance checking is required, a
flexible shift can be arranged. If an employee has a punching record without a shift arranged, the attendance results
are calculated as overtime based on flexible shifts.
Shift: It refers to a preset work schedule for the personnel and is composed of one or more preset attendance
timetables based on certain order and cycle period. For employee attendance, the employee shifts to be used must
be set first.
Start/End Check-in: It refers to a timetable which is the valid range of check-in. The check-in records out of this range
are invalid.
Start/End Check-out: It refers to a timetable which is the valid range of check-out. The check-out records out of this
range are invalid. The check-out start time cannot overlap the check-in end time.
Super user: It refers to a user with all operation permissions of the system. A super user is able to assign new users
(such as company management personnel, registrars or attendance administrators) and configure corresponding
user roles.
Temporary Schedule: If the shifts on some dates are adjusted due to temporary changes of employee work time
after scheduling, the temporary schedule can be used. Temporary schedule can be set as only temporarily valid or
appending to an employee shift (two schedule records in the attendance statistics in this case). This mode of
schedule is very applicable to the posts without fixed schedules.
Time in a Timetable: It refers to the work time of an attendance timetable in the shift setting on that day.
Unit/Minimum Unit: The unit covers day, hour and minute and the minimum unit is a numeric value. The
combination of these two is used to set the minimum computing unit of a parameter in statistics such as one day,
one hour or one minute. For example, the minimum unit of leave is set to one hour. When rounding-off is enabled,
the value 1.5 is counted as two hours and the value 1.4 is counted as one hour after rounding-off.
Work Minute: In normal attendance, the work minute is the time set in Work Minute of a shift timetable. When the
valid attendance duration in a shift timetable is smaller than the time set in Work Minute of a shift timetable, the valid
attendance duration prevails. When the valid attendance duration in a shift timetable is larger than the time set in
Work Minute of a shift timetable, the time set in Work Minute of the shift timetable prevails. The work minute in a
flexible shift is 0.
Work time: It refers to the time between an employee's work start time and end time (measured in minutes). The
filled value may not be equal to the actual interval between punching in and out. The value may be larger or smaller
than this interval, depending on the company system. Normally, this value can neither larger than 480 nor smaller
than 0. If this value is 0, this timetable is overtime and needs not to be counted as work time. The system will
automatically count this timetable as overtime.

time you check out and the end time of the timetable) is not less than Minimum Late Out, then the time of Normal
Work/Normal OT/Weekend OT/Holiday OT is the time of late leave.
Minimum Late Out: Set the minimum late out minute of starting to calculate the time of Normal Work/Normal
→OT Level
OT Level: Set the OT level rule. Ignore: will not calculate the overtime of corresponding OT level. Depend On Work
Time: Calculate the overtime of corresponding OT Level based on work time. Depend On OT: Calculate the overtime
of corresponding OT level based on calculation or approval overtime.
OT Level 1/OT Level 2/OT Level 3: Set OT level 1, 2 and 3 to different lengths of work time or overtime (calculation
or approval overtime).
Method of Overtime Level Calculation: (Calculated in subparagraph)
Assume that the values of T1 to T3 are the hours of OT Level1 to 3. T represents the work time or overtime
(calculation or approval overtime).

·If an employee’s daily work time or overtime (calculation or approval overtime) is greater than Time 1 but less than
Time 2; then the overtime at OT Level 1 is the daily work time minus Time 1.
·If an employee’s daily work time or overtime (calculation or approval overtime) is greater than Time 2 but less than
Time 3; then the overtime at OT Level 1 is the Time 2 minus Time 1; the overtime at OT Level 2 is the daily work time
minus Time 2.
·If an employee’s daily work time or overtime (calculation or approval overtime) is greater than Time 3; then the
overtime at OT Level 1 is the Time 2 minus Time 1; then overtime at OT Level 2 is Time 3 minus Time 2; the overtime
of OT Level 3 is the daily work time minus Time 3.
The following example is used to explain how overtime is calculated by using the values which is specified in the
preceding figure. Suppose employee work time is 8 hours, OT Level 1 is 9 hours, OT Level 2 is 11 hours, OT Level 3 is
14 hours.
·If an employee works 9 hours a day, he/she has 1-hour overtime (9 minus 8) at OT Level 1.
·If the employee works 12 hours a day, he/she has a total of 4-hour overtime, 3-hour overtime (11 minus 8) at OT
Level 1 and 1-hour overtime (12-11) at OT Level 2.
·If the employee works 15 hours one day, he/she has a total of 7-hour overtime, 3-hour overtime (11 minus 8) at
OT Level 1, 3-hour overtime (14-11) at OT Level 2, and 1-hour overtime (15-14) at OT Level 3.
→Rule Setting
Necessary Clock-In, Necessary Clock-Out: Decide whether check-in and check-out are mandatory in the selected
time range. If an employee needs to check in/out, select Yes; otherwise, select No.
Allow Late-In, Allow Early-Out: This refers to the permissible time for late arrival/early leaving before the designation
of late arrival/early leaving starts during the specified working time.
For example, if Allowed late minute is set to 5 and check-in time is set to 9:00; Employee A checked in at 9:03 and
Employee B checked in at 9:06, we can conclude that Employee A is not late as the interval between his or her check-
in time and check-in start time is less than 5 minutes and Employee B is late for 6 minutes as the interval between
his or her check-in time and check-in start time exceeds 5 minutes.
Punch Interval Type: The time interval of punch can be set as Relate to Rule or user customize. When users customize
it, they need to set the Duplicate Punch Period (m).
Base on Punch State: Whether to use the function key. When "yes" is selected, the attendance will be calculated
according to the punch status. When "no" is selected, the attendance status will be automatically corrected when
calculates the attendance.
For example: The work time is 9:00-18:00, and the time range for punch is 8:00-10:00, 17:00-19:00 respectively. A

checks in at 9:00 and 18:00. When Base on Punch State is selected as Yes, there is only one valid check in at 9:00 for
attendance calculation, and when Base on Punch State is selected as No, there are two valid records, check in at 9:00
and check out at18:00 for attendance calculation.

Finished” indicates the end of calculation when it pops up.
 Rules for Selecting the Check-in/out Time

The check-in time should select the time that is earliest within the check-in time range. For example, when you check
in at 8:50, 9:00 and 9:10, it is considered that you check in at 8:50. The check-out time should select the time that is
latest within the check-out time range. For example, the due check-out time is 18:00, if you check out at 17:50, 18:00
and 18:20, it is taken that you check out at 18:20.
 Calculation Process
First determine the shift of each employee on a day, then determine the work type on that day, then select the check-
in/out time and the leave list; then select the compensatory leave information. When selecting the work type, only
the holiday settings of 100 days prior to the current day can be selected. Select the attendance parameters, calculate
the attendance results, and save the results to the database.
 Calculation Prerequisites
The attendance calculation date should be later than the entry date and calculation is only made when Enable
Attendance Function is set to Yes. If attendance check is not required for an employee, only the actual check value
and the total time are shown in the report after the attendance calculation.
 Work Type Judgment Rules
1. If Auto OT is selected, the overtime is calculated based on the settings of the attendance parameters, and the
calculation result is rounded based on the rounding rules. If the work time of the timetable is set to zero, it is
considered that the timetable is overtime, which will be calculated as the daily overtime.
2. If there is a temporary schedule, it is calculated by the work type of the temporary schedule.
3. The work type on weekends and rest days is judged as normal work or overtime work according to the set value
in the shift.
4. The work type of holiday is determined as normal work or overtime work according to the set value in the holiday
setting.
 Rounding Rules
The rounding rules include rounding down, rounding off and rounding up:
For rounding down, when the remainder of the value of a calculated item exceeds the minimum unit, the system
automatically truncates the remainder.
For rounding off, when the remainder of the value of a calculated item exceeds half of the minimum unit, the value
will be increased by a minimum unit; if the remainder of the value of a calculated item is less than half of the minimum
unit, the remainder will be directly abandoned.

For rounding up, if the remainder of the value of a calculated item exceeds the minimum unit, the value will be
increased by a minimum unit.
 Scheduling Principle
1. When there is a normal schedule, the system considers the day as a workday. However, if there is a temporary
schedule, the timetable of the additional temporary schedule is judged as work or overtime based on the set value.
2. If there is no existing schedule or temporary schedule, the system will not calculate the attendance for employees
who come to work.
3. If there is no existing schedule but a temporary schedule is arranged, it is recorded as work or overtime according
to the setting value in the temporary schedule.
4. Determining whether there is existing scheduling first:
A. Calculate the attendance based on a schedule if any, and check whether there is a temporary schedule. If
yes, check whether only temporary scheduling is effective or Add after the existing scheduling is selected
for calculating the attendance. The work type of the temporary schedule can be designated during
temporary scheduling.
B. If there is no schedule, check whether there is a temporary schedule.
C. If there is no schedule or temporary schedule, the attendance is not calculated.
5. The attendance is not calculated when there is no schedule.
5.11 Attendance Report

The attendance report lists the daily attendance information of the queried personnel within a designated time
period, and collects statistics on absence, late arrival/early leaving, overtime and leave, to check whether the listed

overtime sheet or compensatory leave sheet or directly modify the data in the report based on the requirements.
