Overtime Calculation: Over the past several months, we have been introducing changes to accommodate overtime rules that differ from weekly overtime over 40 hours worked. This includes Daily overtime for employees in California and Colorado as well as the ability to set a custom weekly OT threshold for employees whose weekly overtime begins at XX hours worked. If you have any questions regarding calculation of overtime, please do not hesitate to ask.
Dashboard Location Filter: Previously, the first selection when navigating to the Dashboard to view employees punched in read "All Locations" yet it did not display any punched in employees. This wording has been changed to read "Please Select Location" in order to clearly convey that a location selection must be made.
Dashboard Time Display: As you may know, all Spokeware punches are captured and stored in Universal Time Coordinates (UTC, aka GMT) and then converted to the native time zone for display. The "native" time zone can be set by registering a punch computer to a particular time zone, tying an authorized IP address to a time zone or assigning a time zone to Location. If the time zone cannot be identified, the display will default to Central Standard Time (CST).
The Dashboard is programmed to display punches in their native time zone as determined per above. It has come to our attention that certain browsers will recognize this Date/Time display and convert it based on the local computer's time zone settings. If the computer settings are incorrect or the viewing user is in a time zone different from the punching employee, the browser will convert the time and it will display differently on the Dashboard than in the timesheet itself.
We have now made a change to prevent this time translation by certain web browsers. Additionally, the native time zone will now display so the viewing user can be assured that the punch is tied to the appropriate time zone.
