Web Portal General Settings sets imporant global workplace information such as workday start time, type of currency, language, minimum wage, and units of measure.
| Time Zone | A time zone is a region of the globe that observes a uniform standard time for legal, commercial, and social purposes. For accurate time tracking, select the time zone in which the machine is located. |
| Work Day Start Time |
Work Day Start Time is the dividing point between one day and the next. Midnight (00:00) is the Web Portal’s default dividing point. See Work Day Start Time. However, if you have an employee whose shift includes midnight (e.g., 5pm - 3am), the Web Portal’s default setting will not calculate that employee’s work time correctly. If you have employees working overnight, set the Work Day Start Time to a period when no one is working. |
