Things to Know
- Shifts that do not meet predefined time card parameters will not be included on the Schedule Variance Cost Analysis report. The following note is displayed in the details section of the report:
- How is the variance determined between a scheduled shift and an actual shift?
Shifts that do not meet predefined time card parameters will not be included on the Schedule Variance Cost Analysis report. The following note is displayed in the details section of the report: "Any shift outside of [# of minutes early] and [# of minutes late] will not display on this report." | ||
The following describes how the number of minutes in this rule are calculated:
The system administrator defines the following parameters:
In the following example, a five (5) minute grace period is allowed for early and late time punches with a twenty (20) minute "tolerance" interval. The values are used to match shifts with their respective time card punches. Any punches outside of this threshold will not be included on the Schedule Variance Cost Analysis report.

How is the variance determined between a scheduled shift and an actual shift? | ||
To determine the variance values, the report compares the Shift Start and Shift End of a scheduled shift with the Clock In and Clock Out times of the actual shift worked by the employee. To determine the variance cost, the difference between the scheduled shift and the actual shift is multiplied by the pay rate. |
