Use unique employee numbers and PINs
Each employee should have a management-assigned employee number and private PIN. Avoid shared credentials.
Clear abandoned entries
An inactivity timer should return the station to the first step when an employee walks away without completing a punch.
Define break rules
Managers can decide whether separate break buttons are shown. Lunch and break punches should follow a valid sequence so reports remain accurate.
Review exceptions
Supervisors should review missed punches, unusually long breaks, and corrections before payroll is calculated.
