Disciplinary Action Warnings

As employee punches are assigned punch errors in the Time Card section of the program, Error Points are accrued based on the point amount specified in the Error Point Setup section of the program.

When an employee's Error Points reach the threshold specified in the Disciplinary Scale that they are assigned to, a Disciplinary Action Warning is created.

Disciplinary Action Warnings are viewed from the Supervisor Dashboard section of the program.

Opening Disciplinary Action Warnings

  1. From the row of navigation tabs at the top of the screen, click on "Time Card."

  2. Click on the Supervisor link located directly below the main program navigation tabs.

  3. The Supervisor Dashboard allows you to select the types of information to be displayed. When selected, the Disciplinary Action Warnings section is displayed. See Supervisor for instructions on customizing dashboard settings.

  4. Click on the Options link located directly to the right of the Disciplinary Action Warnings header. The following options are available:

    • Include Absences: With this option selected, error points generated by absence codes on the employee's time card will be taken into account when Disciplinary Scales are applied.
