Hours display format
Determines how hours are shown on reports and the screen.
Short format displays 1 1/2 hours as 1:30. If you select this format then it is a good idea to also enable time rounding to round clock in and out times to the nearest minute. See Time Rounding.
Long format displays 1 1/2 hours as 1:30:00.
Decimal format displays 1 1/2 hours as 1.50. You can set the number of decimal places below. This is the format used in older version of Power Clock.
Decimal places for hours worked
If you choose decimal hours display format above then enter the number of decimal places. The default of 2 should be fine.
Split days at midnight
This option determines how shifts that cross midnight are handled. If enabled, Power Clock splits shifts that cross the midnight (12 AM) threshold into two shifts.
For example: An employee clocks in and stays clocked in until past midnight on the last day of your work week. The employee clocks out at 3AM the next day. If this option is enabled then the 3 hours from midnight until 3AM will be included in the next work week's total hours and overtime. If this option is disabled then those 3 hours will be included in the previous weeks total and overtime.
Use 4 digit years
If enabled, dates are shown with 4 digit years. Years may still be entered with 2 digits in edit fields.
Disable change log
If checked, changes to records are not recorded in the change log. You'll save some disk space by disabling the change log but in most cases you should leave this option disabled. If you're using multiple locations you should never enable this option.
Show currently clocked in time on reports
If checked and employees are currently clocked in, the currently clocked in shifts are shown on reports as if the employees clocked out at the time the report was run.
Start of work week
Select the start of your work week used for overtime calculations. Select the day your week starts from the drop down list. All reports will be grouped according to the weekday you select.
Overtime base when report starting date is in middle of week
Determines how overtime is calculated when the starting date of a report is not on the start of work week entered above. You should run reports using dates that correspond to the beginning and ending of your work weeks. In cases where you enter a date that is in the middle of the work week then overtime calculation can be confusing. One common reason for entering dates in the middle of a work week is bi-monthly pay periods.
Look Back:
Looks back to first day of the first week of report when calculating overtime for the first week in the report. If there were hours in previous days of the work week then they are added into the total hours and count towards overtime of the first week. This is the default and should work fine for most users.
No Look Back:
The opposite of above. If the report starts on a split week then the hours in days of the work week preceding the report start date are ignored and not included in the overtime calculation for the first week of the report.
Reset Week:
The start of work week is reset to whatever day the report starting date is. Overtime will begin based on the starting date of the report.
