5. Factory Settings
If your Time Q just came out of the factory box, or if you have
reinitialized and set the time and date, your TimeQ will be set as follows:
The pay period length will be one week, beginning on Monday, and the
totals will be derived by adding together the actual elapsed time between
in and out punches.Anyone who stays on the clock for over 12 hours will
be automatically punched out because they have exceed the MAX TIME
ON CLOCK setting of 12 hours. If your pay period length is two weeks,
semimonthly or monthly, change the setting. If your pay period starts on a
day other than Monday, enter the NEXT pay period start date. An
example of the CLOCK RULES report settings follows.

• Pay Interval Round - One minute is the smallest increment of time used to calculate
time worked totals. Options are 1, 5, 6, 10 or 15 minutes.
• Pay Period - The length of time during which time worked totals will accumulate for a
timecard.
• Next Pay Period Start Date - The date the NEXT pay period will start.
• Day Change Time - By default, the day change time — the time a new day begins — is

will begin to accumulate. Weekly overtime does not apply to semimonthly or monthly
pay periods. This can be set to two different levels.
• 7th Day Overtime - Disabled. When enabled, forces all hours worked on the 7th
consecutive worked day of a pay period to be promoted to the next highest pay level
(Overtime 1 or Overtime 2) provided that the seven consecutive days start at the
beginning of the first or second week of the weekly or biweekly pay period.
• Daylight Savings Time - Enabled, the Time Q will automatically assign the first
Sunday inApril and last Sunday in October as the beginning and ending dates of daylight
savings (current U.S. law). The time change will occur at 2:00 a.m.

bit words, no parity and 1 stop bit are assumed.
• Shift Start Time - The time of day employees are to begin work.
• Shift Round - The minutes before the Start Time or after the Stop Time during which
employee punches will be treated as if they had occurred exactly on the Start and Stop
Times.
• Shift Grace - The minutes after the Start Time or before the Stop Time during which
employee punches will be treated as if they had occurred exactly on the Start and Stop
Times.
• Shift Dock - The minimum minutes the employee will lose from time worked totals if
punching in after the Start Time (plus grace) or before the Stop Time (minus grace).
• Shift Stop Time - The time of day employees can stop working.
• Lunch StartTime - The earliest time of day at which an employee can punch out for
lunch.
• Lunch StopTime - The latest time of day at which an employee should punch back in
from lunch.
• Lunch Duration - The number of minutes for lunch which will be subtracted from time
worked totals.
• Auto Lunch After - After this number of hours and minutes following an in-punch, the

Reports
When a TIME CARD report has punch times with an “!” exclamation
mark beside them, this indicates that the punch is either too early or too late
to conform to shift or lunch rules that were enabled. If the words “TIME
CHANGE” are printed underneath a punch in time, that indicates the real
time clock in the Time Q was changed while that person was punched in.
(Note:A Daylight Savings Time adjustment will cause this if someone is on
the clock at 2:00 a.m.) The word “missed,” followed by an “*” asterisks,
will appear in the place of a punch out time if “MAX TIME ON CLOCK”
has been exceeded. Note that the asterisks will also appear beside the
totals and summaries of any employees who have missed a punch.

define a period of time during which a in-punch will be used for time
worked totals as if the punch occurred exactly on the Start Time. Stop
Time affects calculated totals in the same fashion, except that Shift Round
comes into effect after the Stop Time and Grace allows for early
departure. Shift Dock penalizes late punch-ins and early punch-outs by
calculating time worked totals as if the Start and Stop were offset by the
number of minutes defined by the Dock.
Lunch Window Begin:
The earliest time of day at which an employee can punch out for lunch.
Lunch Window End:
The latest time of day at which an employee should punch back in from
lunch.
Lunch Duration:
The number of minutes for lunch which will be subtracted from time
worked totals.
Auto Lunch After:
After this number of hours and minutes following an in-punch, the Time Q
will assume an employee has taken lunch. The Lunch Duration will then be
subtracted from the time worked totals.
51Appendix
Note: The Lunch Window Begin and Lunch Window End define a period
of time during which an out-punch for lunch and then an in-punch back to
work should occur. Shift Rules (Start and Stop Times, etc.) do not have to
be enabled for lunch to be programmed.
SUPERVISOR:
Supervisor Badge:
A Supervisor Badge is one that is programmed to access the main menu of
the Time Q. Supervisor badges are usually kept by those in managerial
positions. There are two permanent Supervisor badges shipped with each
Time Q. Other badges may be programmed as Supervisor badges provided
they are not already assigned to employees. It is not necessary to purchase
additional Supervisor badges. These badges can later be deleted from the
Time Q.
TIME AND DATE:
Time Format:
The Time of Day Format selection allows the time to be kept based on a
12 hour format or a 24 hour format.
Date Format:
The date format may be edited to display the month, day and year in the
order which you prefer.
Time Totals Format:
This selection allows time totals to be reported to the minute or to
hundredths. The default is set to minutes.
SETUP:
Max Time on Clock:
The Time Q assumes that an employee has missed a punch after the
maximum time on the clock has been exceeded. This allows the clock to
gain some control over missed punches. The Time Q will punch the
employee out with zero accumulated time for that punch pair. It will note
the missed punch on the time card and hour summary report. The default
value for “Max Time on Clock” is twelve hours.
52
Appendix
Pay Interval Round:
This function causes the time worked totals to be calculated as if the punch
occurred at one of the hour divisions chosen.
Pay Period Length:
The length of time during which time worked totals will accumulate for a
timecard. Generally,how often an employee will get paid.
Pay Period Start:
The date the NEXT pay period will start.
Day Change Offset:
By default, the day change time — the time a new day begins — is set at
midnight. Since the punch-in time determines to which day the subsequent
time worked totals will be added, it is sometimes helpful to move the day
change time forward or backward from midnight. The day change offset
feature allows the day change time to be easily changed from the midnight
default. The feature is used in the rare case of companies which have a
Shift Start Timenear midnight. If an employee then comes in late for that
shift, but prior to the day change time; the time worked will still be
accounted to the intended day.
Daily Overtime After:
The amount of time worked in a day,after which, overtime will begin to
accumulate. A second level of daily overtime is provided for those
situations in which hours accumulated in a day are treated differently than
the regular hours or those worked during the first daily overtime period. For
example, hours worked between 8-12 hours might be paid at time and a
half, but any hours worked over 12 would be paid at double time. NOTE:
the default setting of 24 hours effectively disables the daily overtime
features.
53Appendix
Weekly Overtime After:
The amount of time worked in a week, after which, overtime will begin to
accumulate. The “overtime” week starts at the beginning of a weekly pay
period, at the beginning and middle of a two week pay period. Weekly
overtime does not apply to semimonthly or monthly pay periods. The
default value for “First Weekly Overtime After” is 40 hours. The default
value for “Second Weekly Overtime After” is 168 hours. The second level
provides another tier of overtime accounting. For example, 40 hours or less
would be paid at the regular rate; 40-60 hours would be paid at time and a
half. Any hours worked over 60 would then be paid at a different rate,
possiblydoubletime.
7th Day Overtime:
When this feature is enabled, all hours worked on the seventh consecutive
worked day will be promoted to the next highest pay level (Overtime 1 or
Overtime 2), provided that the seven consecutive days start at the
beginning of the first or second week of the weekly or biweekly pay
period. This feature does not affect weekly overtime calculations and will
not override weekly overtime thresholds. The default setting for this
feature is disabled.
California Overtime:
To comply with California Overtime Labor Regulations, use the following
settings for Daily Overtime, Weekly Overtime, and 7th Day Overtime:
When this function is enabled, theTimeQ will automatically assign the first
Sunday inApril and the last Sunday in October as the beginning and ending
dates of daylight savings (current U.S. law). If necessary, the Daylight
Savings Start and End dates can be edited. The time change will occur at
2:00 a.m. Time worked totals will not automatically adjust for the loss or
addition of an hour, but timecards will indicate that there was a time
change.
54
Appendix
Daylight Savings Start:
The date the Time Q will “spring” forward. This date can be edited if
necessary.
Daylight Savings End:
The date the Time Q will “fall” back. This date can be edited if necessary.
Setup Printer Port:
This function allows the user to set up the printer port on the Time Q.
Printed reports can be directed to either the parallel port (the large external
port on the right) or to the serial port (the internal modular connector
labeled RS-232). The default value is parallel. When the serial port is
selected, the baud rate must be entered. 8 bit words, no parity, and 1 stop
bit are assumed. This function applies only to the printer port on the Time
Q. It has nothing to do with your PC printer.
Comm Port Baud Rate:
The rate at which data will pass through the RS-232 serial port. This may
already be set if printed reports are directed through the port as mentioned
above. If a computer is connected to this port, the baud rate should match
the setting of the computer port. The default setting for the Time Q is 9600
baud. Use slower rates for longer distances.
Remove All Punches:
This function removes all employee punchinformationwhileleavingthe
Setup, Shift Rules and Employee Profiles at their current settings.
Re-Initialize System:
This function will clear all punches and employee profiles, and reset all
Setup and Shift Rules to their factory settings. The clock/calender will
default to 12:00 a.m. Jan. 01, 1996.
