site.timekeeping.DateToEnableOverrideWagesForAdjustments — For Adjustment Rules and Percent Allocation Rules, if an employee has a wage override in effect then the wage override is used as the wage to modify instead of the base wage.

To enable this behavior, enter an effective date. Keep in mind that if you enter a date that is earlier than the last signed-off pay period historical corrections may occur.

site.timekeeping.deductUnpaidTimeFromOnCall — Specifies whether non-worked segments are deducted from On Call.

Value: required; installed default=true

site.timekeeping.displayScheduledPCEStartTime — Determines how duration paycode edits can be entered in the timecard. The edit can be scheduled or not scheduled.

The default comment is “Correction saved without access”. You can use this system setting to change the default comment.

The selection list includes all comments in the Paycode category. For auditing purposes, it is not recommended to remove the comment. If you do need to remove the comment, you can do this by selecting the blank row.

site.timekeeping.historicalCorrectionsPersistingWithoutEditPermission.enable — Specifies how to handle historical corrections saved by users without permission to edit signed-off time. The default is false.

Once this setting is set to true, automatic comments are included for each pending correction saved by a user without permission to edit signed-off time. The default comment is “Correction saved without access”. To change the comment, use the following system setting:site.timekeeping.historicalCorrectionsPersistingWithoutEditPermission.comment

When this setting is enabled, you can also configure if corrections saved by users without permission are included in totals (see the site.timekeeping.historicalCorrectionsPersistingWithoutEditPermission.includelnTotals system setting).

site.timekeeping.MultipleAssignments.GroupEditEnabled — Enables group edits for multiple assignment employees.

site.timekeeping.optimistic_lock_buffer_size_in_minutes — Specifies the amount of time, in minutes, to add to the end of the time period to verify that there are no conflicting edits to the employee’s timecard before performing a save function. The system automatically verifies that no other changes have been made in the same time frame. This key lengthens the time period to be checked.

Value: required; minimum=0; installed default=0

Value: required; installed default=true

Value: installed default=500

site.timekeeping.percentAllocationStopCascadeAfterTriggerMatchFound — Specifies whether Percent Allocation Rules continue to evaluate triggers once a match is found. The default is false. True indicates the first matching trigger is used and evaluation completes.

Note: As a best practice, make changes to this system setting at the beginning of a pay period boundary. Additionally, refrain from making changes to the system setting value if totalization is occurring. When changing the system setting to true, historical corrections may be generated.

site.timekeeping.prevailingWages.mandatoryColumns — This property can be used to define a comma-separated list of mandatory column names for the prevailing wages table. A maximum of 3 column names can be specified in this property.

site.timekeeping.punchExtractMaximumEmployeeCount — Controls the maximum number of employees that can be retrieved on a single page when running the Punch Extract API. Default: 25; Minimum: 1; Maximum: 50.

Default=10 seconds

site.timekeeping.recordTimestampAfterApproval — Specifies whether employees can record timestamp if their timecard is approved.

Default = false

site.timekeeping.removeEmployeeApprovalWhenManagerEditsTimecard — Specifies whether an employee's timecard approval should be removed on a day that a manager edits. This function access control point is typically used with attestation so that when a manager changes an employee's time after the employee attested and approved his or her time, the employee is asked to re-attest and re-approve the modified time.

Value: required; installed default=true

site.timekeeping.retainDefaultLaborCategory — Persists entries from employee's Default Labor Category when the value is valid for the Business Structure and is not specified in a transfer.

Value: default is false; when set to true, default Labor Categories persist for transactions where the explicit transfer either excludes the category or does not include a valid Labor Category entry for that category.

site.timekeeping.service.attestation.lookback.minutes — Maximum look back minutes for attestation, any in-process shifts with start time older than this time will be filtered out.

Default: 900 (15 hours)

site.timekeeping.signOffCurrentPayPeriodAllowed — Specifies whether the user can sign off on the current pay period. This setting accommodates changes in time zones and is also useful during a holiday week, for example, to sign off on employees before leaving for the week.

Value: required; installed default=false; recommended value: false

site.timekeeping.signOffGracePeriodDeltaInMinutes — Specifies the amount of time, in minutes, in which punches can be added at the boundary of a signed off region. When an employee works over a day divide and the previous pay period is signed off, the user loses access to the in-punch of the first shift of the current pay period. This key lengthens the current time period into the previous pay period to gain access to the in-punches that fall into the previous pay period.

Note: This setting does not affect system generated punches. For example, you cannot edit Pay From Schedule punches within a signed-off pay period, even when they occur within the grace period.

Value: required; minimum=0; installed default=0

Default=false

site.timekeeping.TimeEntryEditsAttestation.Enabled — Specifies whether punch edits are supported for Time Entry Attestation.

site.timekeeping.validateIncludingFutureHires — When set to true, managers can enter time-off in the Schedule Planner for employees who have a future hire date. For example, a manager could enter vacation time for an employee who has not yet started.

Default=false

site.timekeeping.managerAttestationProfile.enable — Enables manager Attestation when editing employee timecards.

site.timekeeping.managerAttestationProfile.name — Specifies the name of the Attestation Profile used by managers when editing employee timecards.
