2 Glossary
ZKProto: aims to provide a modern, fast and reliable server-centralized communication protocol for DB
synchronization between android devices and ZKTime.net 3.0.

Sync server: controls and performs all DB synchronization.

Control server: provides information and allows configuring sync server.

Overtime: sets overtime levels 1, 2, and 3 to different lengths of work time.

Pay Code: is defined as the type of salary payment.

Role: In daily use, the administrator needs to assigndifferent levels of privileges to some new users. To avoid
setting up separately for each user, you can create roles with specific privilege on the Role Management
interface and then assign the appropriate role directly to the user while adding a user.

Timetable: sets the timetables that might be used during the attendance procedure, it configures
various parameters such as Check-In/Check-Out Time and (Allow) Late Arrival/Early Out, and sets the
allowable time range for check-in/check-out and break time. Timetable is the minimum unit for the staff
attendance time setting.

Modify Record: allows manual change in attendance records when employees leave for business or forget to
punch in.

Work State: is defined as the type of punch-in/ punch-out in attendance records. Six work states are used in
the system in default setting, including Check-In, Check-Out, Overtime In, Overtime, Out, and Out back.

Late Arrival: sets the late arrival timetable and the starting time for counting a punch-in as Late Arrival, and
defines whether the actual check-in is later than the expected check-in. Here, the system conforms to the
attendance rule “No check-in, counted as Late Arrival”. The Late Arrival time will not affect the number of
minutes worked in attendance records.

Early Out: sets the early out timetable and the starting time for counting a punch-in as Early Out, and
defines whether the actual check-out is later than the expected check-out. Here, the system conforms to the
attendance rule “No check-out, counted as Early Out”. The Early Out time will not affect the number of minutes
worked in attendance records.

Absent: According to attendance rules, all punches will count as Absent when there is no check-in or check-
out record, or when the Late Arrival or Early Leave time exceeds N minutes specified in the attendance rules.

Exception: is defined as the time for leave in a timetable.

Shift: consists of one or more preset timetables according to a certain sequence and cycle, and is a preset
work schedule. To monitor employee attendance, you must set shifts first.

ZKTime.Net 3.0 - Android 3

Schedule: sets employee shifts in a certain time period to facilitate attendance monitor. This is a major
reference for calculating attendance.

Temporary Schedule: an adjustment to the fixed shifts in work schedule on specific dates when the work
hours of one or more employees change temporarily. This schedule is also applicable to irregular posts.

(Allow) Late Arrival/Early Out: is defined as the start time for counting a punch-in /punch-out as Late Arrival/
Early Out after it exceeds the allowable time limit in the specified work time.

Work Time: is defined as the work time (in the unit of Minute) of an employee from check-in to check-out. The
value entered here might be unequal to the time interval between the employee’s actual check-in and check-
out time, which depends on the company regulations.

(Default) Timetable: defines a timetable that is set in default by the system.

(Default) Shift: is defined as a shift that is set in default by the system, which is a cycle of the default timetable
in one week. You can use the default shift for the employees who have no fixed work schedules but are
required to record their attendance. Default shift is applicable to bosses, sales staff, service staff, and made-to-
order production personnel.

Check-In Start/End: is defined as a valid time range for check-in. Records out of this range are invalid.

Check-Out Start/End: is defined as a valid time range for check-out. Records out of this range are invalid. The
check-out start time and the check-in end time must not overlap.

Break: is used to deduct the lunchtime and rest time which are inaccurately counted as work time because
employees have their punch-in /punch-out only twice a day. For example, the period 08:00~17:30 contains
the time for lunch and rest, which can be deducted. You need to set a break period from 12:00 to 13:30.
This period is not used directly for calculating the time points but only for calculating the attendance time.
For example, if an employee works only in the morning, his/her work hours are 4 hours. When the period
12:00~17:30 (5.5 hours) is considered as the employee’s absence time, it is obviously greater than the actual
absence time (13:30~17:30, 4 hours). Therefore, you need to set the break start and end time between punch-
in and punch-out. This setting is not necessary in other cases.

Round Value Check-In/Check-Out: is defined as the smallest unit for rounding the time of check-in/
check-out. For example, if Round Value In/out is set to 10, the smallest unit of time that can be included in
attendance records is 10 minutes.

Round Down Check-In/Check-Out: When values are greater than the set Round Down value, they will be
rounded up; when values are smaller than or equal to the Round Down value, they will be rounded down.

Shift: sets the schedule properties, including the dates and shifts of the schedule, and whether there are
cycling schedule dates, and then assigns the preset schedule to a department or individual employee.

Hire Date: is defined as the date when an employee is hired. When adding an employee, you can either use
the default hiring date which is the current system date, or you can change the date. This information is very
important. So, remember to enter the correct date.

4 ZKTime.Net 3.0 - Android

Status: is defined as the status of the device. If you click Enable, the device functions and you can perform
the following operations on the device: user uploading/downloading, work code uploading, and record
downloading. If you click Disable, the device does not function.

Set OT Levels 1, 2, and 3 to different lengths of work time.

Method of Overtime Level Calculation: (Calculated in subparagraph)

Assume that the values of T1 to T3 are specified as below. T represents the end point of work time.

• If an employee’s actual daily working hours are greater than Time 1 but less than Time 2, then the
overtime at OT Level 1 is the Actual daily working hours minus Time 1.

• If an employee’s actual daily working hours are greater than Time 2 but less than Time 3, then the
overtime at OT Level 1 is the Time 2 minus Time 1; the overtime at OT Level 2 is the actual daily working
hours minus Time 2.

• If an employee’s actual daily working hours are greater than Time 3, then the overtime at OT Level 1 is
the Time 2 minus Time 1; the overtime at OT Level 2 is Time 3 minus Time 2; the overtime of OT Level 3
is the actual daily working hours minus Time 3.
The following example is used to explain how overtime is calculated by using the values specified in the
preceding figure.
• If an employee works 9 hours a day, he/she has 1-hour overtime (9 minus 8) at OT Level 1.

ZKTime.Net 3.0 - Android 35

 • If the employee works 12 hours a day, he/she has a total of 4-hour overtime, 3-hour overtime (11 minus 8)
at OT Level 1 and 1-hour overtime (12-11) at OT Level 2.

• If the employee works 15 hours a day, he/she has a total of 7-hour overtime, 3-hour overtime (11 minus 8)
at OT Level 1, 3-hour overtime (14-11) at OT Level 2, and 1-hour overtime (15-14) at OT Level 3.
