How can the timekeeper tell the difference between when an employee clocks in and out with clock codes 87 and 88 rather than clock codes 3 and 4?
An employee uses a clock code 87 to record a leave the premises transaction and a clock code 88 to record return to premises”. When the 87 and 88 clock codes are used, the automatic lunch deduction assigned to the employee is not cancelled. In the example time card immediately below, you will note there is no red border around the out punch at 12:30 which would indicate that the automatic lunch deduction had been cancelled. Therefore, the automatic meal is still deducted from the employees time card along with the number of minutes they were gone from the premises.
