Conditional Clock Prompts

A lot of our clients use the clock prompts for employee to be able to punch into certain labor prompts like Division/Branch/Department. These often flow over to payroll with the hours. We would like to be able to show ONLY certain Branches/Departments if a certain Division (highest level) is chosen.

For example: If I have the below Division/Branch/Department setup for a company in payroll.

And an employee comes in to clock into Division 3. I would only want to show them Branches 30,31, and 32 and Department 300,301, and 302 to clock into.

If an employee were to clock into Division 5, they would only see Branch 50,51, and 52 as well as Department 500,501, and 502.


What happens now is someone could potentially punch into Division 3 and be able to punch into Branch 10-52 as well as Department 100-502. This creates issues when doing payroll as the structure chosen on the time card doesn't match what is in payroll.

    It would also be great to be able to condition prompts based on time card activity.


    For example, a client wants employees to indicate if they've chosen to clock back in early after a lunch that is less than 30 minutes.


    Additionally, CA state requires employees that work over 5 hours be offered breaks/meals. However, the employee can choose to waive these breaks, but they need to record that they were offered to take their break/meal.


    It would be great if we could script conditional logic for when a clock prompt is displayed for an employee.

    This feature should also apply when employees are editing their time cards, not just punching.

    Some companies prefer employees manually complete their time cards at the end of the pay period. Having the system filter for manual entries/edits would be great.
