Work hours and timezone
Work hours and timezone
Section titled “Work hours and timezone”These settings affect how BioTrack interprets attendance data, especially lateness and recorded timestamps.
Timezone
Section titled “Timezone”The configured timezone controls how BioTrack timestamps attendance activity. If the timezone is wrong, records may appear under the wrong day or time.
This is especially important when:
- the device was installed in a different region
- the workstation time changed
- the office moved to a different local standard
Work hours
Section titled “Work hours”BioTrack stores a standard work configuration that includes:
- work start time
- work end time
- late threshold in minutes
These values shape how the system decides whether a person is on time or late.
When HR should care
Section titled “When HR should care”You do not always need to change these settings yourself, but you should understand their impact. If many employees are suddenly marked late and the pattern looks unrealistic, review the work-hour rules before assuming the device is wrong.
When to involve technical support
Section titled “When to involve technical support”Escalate if:
- the timezone is clearly incorrect
- the listener or device settings were changed
- attendance appears shifted by hours
- late calculations no longer match policy
