5. WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH 7000E

This time recorder can operate in one of two modes; Payroll Mode or Job Cost Mode.

In Payroll Mode and Job Cost Mode, the recorder prints total elapsed time between IN(Start) and OUT(Stop), and also prints a running total of accumulated time per time card on each line. The clock matches pairs of punches and calculates the elapsed time between that pair using predefined rounding rules. The recorder always prints the actual time on the time card, regardless of rounding rules. In Payroll Mode the hours accumulate and reset based on "pay period settings" that are configured during setup. In Job Cost Mode the hours for each unique card can accumulate and reset based on "manual card reset" ("cleared") by performing a manual operation on the time recorder.

For Rounding, there are two options; Hourly Rounding, Punch Time Rounding. For Hourly Rounding, the recorder calculates the hours from time IN punch and time OUT punch, and rounds that result with the "Rounding Unit". The fractions that occur after rounding will be omitted by breakpoint. For Punch Time Rounding, the recorder rounds both the time IN punch and the time OUT punch, and then it calculates the hours from the time IN punch and the time OUT punch. When rounding the time IN punch, it will raise the fractions that occur and, for the rounding of the time OUT punch, it will omit the fractions by breakpoint.

The functions for the buttons on the front of the recorder can be set. There are three options; Required, Optional, Disabled.

Refer to "Functions for the buttons".

In order to properly identify missed punches, the recorder has Max In Value that is used to pair punches for calculations. If the next punch following an IN punch exceeds the Max In Value(i.e.,13hrs.), then it assumed that the employee forgot to punch OUT, and that punch is actually printed as the next IN punch. The employee can override this and force the recorder to make OUT punch by pressing the OUT button before inserting the time card. The buttons must be enabled. (See "Setting the Button Function".)
