Summary

Rounding is:

• Applied to all physical clock times that fall outside anchor conditions.
• For employees who do not use rosters.

Rounding Rules

Rounding rules are specified by your organisational needs and usually reflect the minimum time period for payment. For example, you may pay your staff in 15 minute increments. Therefore all clock times should be rounded to that value.
