Use this form to view, edit, or create work time profiles for workers.

The profile of the worker is used to calculate the worker’s work time, pay time, break time, and flexible hours.

All workers who make registrations in time and attendance or manufacturing execution must be assigned to a work time profile. For more information, see About time registration workers.

Navigating the form

The following tables provide descriptions for the controls in this form.

Tabs

Tab	Description
General	Enter information about a profile.

Buttons

Button	Description
Copy	Copy a profile setup to a new profile, or copy a profile day to other weekdays.

Fields

Field	Description
Profile	The identification of the profile.
Description	Enter a description of the profile.
Pay agreement	If the profile should be connected to a specific pay agreement, select the pay agreement.
Weekday	Select the day of the week to apply profile settings to. You can enter settings for each day individually, or you can copy settings made for one day to other days.
New 24-hour period	If a profile surpasses midnight, enter the time when the following weekday's profile should be applied. For night shift profiles, when the profile date is the date of the clock-out time, enter a time two or three hours before the expected clock-in time. This is to allow for time for workers who arrive early or work overtime before the ordinary clock-in time. Example A worker who works a night shift clocks in at 22:00 on Sunday. Therefore, the New 24-hour period field for the Sunday profile should be set to a time before 22:00 if you want the Monday profile to be applied. You also select Previous day in the 24-hour period start field. Note For night-shift profiles for which the profile date is the date of the clock-in time, enter a time two or three hours after midnight and select the Push check box to consider situations when workers are late and clock in after midnight.
Push	Select this check box to make sure that the correct profile date is used for workers who are late and clock in after midnight. This check box is relevant only for profiles that surpass midnight when the profile date is the clock-in date. Use the New 24-hour period field to set the time when yesterday's date is no longer applied. Example A worker is expected to clock in at 23:00 on Monday for the Monday night shift. The worker is late and clocks in at 00:15. If the Push check box is not selected, the day shift for Tuesday might be applied instead of the Monday night shift when the worker’s registrations are calculated.
24-hour period start	Specify whether the first profile line in the profile specification is the current or previous weekday. This feature applies only to work days when the clock-in time is before or close to midnight on the previous weekday. For example, this might apply to a night shift when the worker clocks in late Sunday evening for the Monday shift.
Overtime / flex limit	Enter the minimum amount of time a worker must work on this day before receiving overtime pay or adding flexible hours to the flex balance.
Max. flex limit	Enter the maximum number of flexible hours that can be added for the day before the work hours are converted to overtime.
Color	Select a color to represent the profile in the work planner. For information about the work planner, see About work planner.
Profile time total	The total number of standard-time work hours for the week.
Profile time day	The total number of standard-time work hours for the day.
Profile type	Select the profile type.
Start	Enter the start time for the selected profile type.
End	Enter the end time for the selected profile type. Note The Clock in and Clock out profile types do not require an end time.
Tolerance before start	Enter the number of minutes to use for rounding off the work time. For example, if this value is set to 15 for the Clock in profile type, a worker who clocks in 10 minutes early will not be credited for this time.
Tolerance after start	Enter the number of minutes to use for rounding off the work time after the registration for the profile type has started. For example, if this field is set to 10 for standard time, a registration that started from zero to 10 minutes after the profile line start time will have the start time rounded to the profile line start time.
Tolerance before end	Enter the number of minutes to use for rounding off the work time before the registration for the profile type has ended. For example, if this field is set to 15 for standard time, a registration that ended from zero to 15 minutes before the profile line end time will have the end time rounded to the profile line end time.
Tolerance after end	Enter the number of minutes to use for rounding off the work time. For example, if this value is set to 15 for the Clock out profile type, a worker who clocks out 10 minutes later than the expected clock-out time will not be credited for this time.
Switch code	Select a switch code which, if registered by the worker, will apply another profile type or registration for this time interval.
Secondary	Enter an alternative profile type that is used for the calculation if a break is canceled or a specific switch code is registered. For more information, see About indirect activities for time and attendance.
Start day	The weekday on which this time interval starts.
End day	The weekday on which this time interval ends.
