A person is late by the minutes between their duty start and their first card punch. Late minutes inside the grace are free; every minute after the grace is fined. A day with only one punch is a half day. The missing-punch fine is charged only on a day the office keeps Present by hand. Your store sets all three numbers in Salary rules.
Where to find it
- Everyone's rule: Admin › ERP › HR Department › Payroll (এইচআর বিভাগ › বেতন), then press Salary rules. Only the store owner (Super Admin) sees Payroll.
- One person's own grace: open their profile under Staff, press edit, and fill Late grace (minutes) under Duty and card machine.
How it works
| Rule in Salary rules | Starts at | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Late fine a minute ৳ | ৳10 | Taken for each late minute after the grace |
| Late: no fine for the first … minutes | 0 | The grace for everyone |
| Missing card punch ৳ | ৳50 | Taken for each day the office keeps Present by hand with Missing card punch ticked |
Example: duty starts at 10:00 and the grace is 5 minutes. Someone punches at 10:12. They are 12 minutes late, 7 minutes are fined: 7 × ৳10 = ৳70. With a grace of 0, all 12 minutes are fined: ৳120.
A person's own Late grace (minutes) replaces everyone's grace for them. Leave it empty to use everyone's rule.
One punch = half day
- Only one punch in the day, or two punches less than 30 minutes apart, means no leaving punch. Today is not counted until the duty has ended.
- Such a day is a Half day: half a day's pay is cut, and no missing-punch fine is added on top.
- An approved Card not punched request, or the Super Admin or an Admin by hand, makes it a full day.
- The ৳50 fine stays only for a day the office sets to Present and leaves Missing card punch ticked.
Good to know
- Who pays fines: factory (Fixed + overtime), office and marketing staff. Part-time staff are paid by work bills and have no fines.
- Days off and closed days have no late minutes.
- Leaving early is shown but not fined.
- Fines cost the attendance bonus. A month with any fined late minute, missing punch or half day gets no attendance bonus.
- Forgive one day's late fine: open the day on Attendance and tick Forgive the late fine. For a punch the machine missed, untick Missing card punch (৳ fine).
- Staff can ask: a Fine waiver request from Requests & messages, once approved, forgives that day's late and missing-punch fines. It does not turn a half day into a full day; a Card not punched request does.
- Custom fines (card lost, any reason) are added by the Super Admin or an Admin under HR Department › Custom fines and cut from that month's salary.
- New rules apply to salaries not checked yet when they are worked out again. Checked and paid salaries do not change.
- On the Attendance grid, a small yellow dot on a day means it has a late fine or a missing punch. A one-punch day shows ½.
