Introduction
FingerTec Ingress & TCMS V3 allow users to manage their attendance records even better. One such method is being able to set the remaining time of their lunch break to either work time or overtime. This allows employees to resume their job earlier after lunch break and claim whatever remaining time they have.

Benefit
By having this options, it provides flexibility to the organization to manage the employee's attendance as every organization has different lunch configuration. This is because some companies offer a paid-lunch system where the company will pay for the remaining lunch time of each worker.  There are five lunch time scenarios in Ingress & TCMS V3 that can be configured to suit the user’s preference.

This guide will take you through the scenarios and steps that are required to configure them.

Scenario 1 – Fixed Lunch Time

Step 1
Create the clocking schedule.
Example: IN – 0900 / BREAK – 1300 / RESUME – 1400 / OUT – 1800

Step 2

    1. Hi iTDoctor,

      Good day to you.

      For break and resume time to appear on the attendance sheet, you need to configure timing for break and resume in the schedule settings.

      Kindly send some screenshot and your database to support@fingertec.com , so we can assist you better.

    1. Hi Sir/Madam,

      Good day.

      For the break time appear in red color, please check with the user data and clocking schedule setting. Based on your clocking schedule setting, the user that will be using this schedule have 2 hours and 10 minutes of break. If the user break early than 11:55 or resume in late than 13:05, then the data will be showing as red.

    1. Hello Sir,

      Good day. For the break and resume time to display in the system, you have to configure it in the clocking schedule and the user must made a clocking transaction at the device. The clocking data later on will be sort based on the clocking schedule configured in the software.

    1. Hello Sir,

      Good day to you.

      Regarding your query, for Monday until Thursday, you may create the normal Weekly schedule (refer this example : http://prntscr.com/q8oapg )

      For Friday schedule, please create 1 Daily schedule since it is using a different configuration for Break time.( refer this screenshot : http://prntscr.com/q8obuz )

      Then, go to Group Duty Roster, and assign the schedule according to the day configured .( refer this screenshot : http://prntscr.com/q8od7v )
