What is the Half Day Working Hour Exemption?

Some companies offer added flexibility by allowing employees to work fewer hours than the standard full-day requirement on specific days—such as Saturdays—while still marking them as present for a full day.

Example Scenario:

Shift Timing: 10:00 AM to 06:00 PM
Minimum Hours for Half Day: 4 hours
Minimum Hours for Full Day: 8 hours

Half Day Exemption Policy:

Grace Time for Check-In: 120 minutes
Grace Time for Check-Out: 0 minutes
Applicable Days: Saturdays only

How It Works:

If an employee checks in at 11:30 AM and checks out at 06:00 PM on a Saturday, they will be considered present for the full day, even if they haven’t completed the minimum 8 hours. No late or early mark will be applied in such cases.

Important Notes:

Once enabled, the Half Day Exemption will be automatically applied after attendance is processed.
The exemption will reflect in the Attendance Records only under the ‘After Processing’ data.
To qualify for this exemption, the employee must complete at least the minimum half-day hours.
Any late or early marks for the day will be cleared when this exemption is applied.
