| What types of schedules can TimeIPS track? |
TimeIPS can track weekly scheduled hours and daily arrival, lunch and departure times. Schedules can repeat weekly, or on a set number of weeks such as every 2, 3, or 4 weeks. Or, schedules can be configured without any kind of repeat for employees with irregular work hours.
In addition TimeIPS can track scheduled weekly hours, with settings for the day and hour that employees start their week.

| Can TimeIPS round, snap and adjust time automatically? |
TimeIPS offers a wide range of time rounding, snapping and adjustments.
- Rounding can be done by the 1/100th hour, minute, 2 minute 20/th hour (3 minute), 5 minute, 10/th hour (6 minute), 10 minute, 15 minute, and more.
- Snapping can be done for any range of time, moving the time to any snap point. For example, employee's clocking between 7:35AM and 8:00AM can have the clock in snapped to 8:00AM. Clock in and clock out rules are configured separately for the maximum flexibility.
- Automatic job changes, clock-ins and clock-outs can all be configured to meet scheduling needs.
- Minimum breaks can be configured to prevent employees from returning from lunch or break too soon.
- Advanced schedules can be created to take a wide variety of actions including clocking in/out, deducting time, sending alerts and using benefits. Actions can be a set amount, or can make an adjustment up to, but not exceeding a set amount, daily or weekly schedule. Triggers for advanced schedules include many options such as being clocked in, or not clocked in, for specified time but not more than a specified time, in a specified range, on or not on specific jobs, and/or if using specific benefits and/or holidays.
