Round the clock operations need to plan carefully. Here are some suggestions for dealing with these issues and instructions for changing clock time.

A Series / RSI Model Clock TimeChange Instructions:

Applies to A300 Series, A2000 Series, RSI Hand Punch Models 2000, 3000, 4000

Please keep in mind that if you change the time on the clock while employees are clocked in, then their time worked for the day may be incorrect. You can easily edit and correct the time in TimeCentre.

If you have Windows98 or NT and TimeCentre Communications version 5.0 or higher and you usually communicate with your clock in LAN (real-time) setting, then you can use this shortcut:

-Launch TimeCentre Communications and go into the SETUP section.
-Set the REAL TIME CLOCK UPDATE option to YES.
-Set the BEGIN TIME to 3:01 AM and set the END TIME to 1:59 AM.
-At 2:00 AM Windows should change the time on your PC. When TimeCentre Communications starts again the first thing that it will do is to synchronize the time on the clock with the time on your PC.

If you communicate with your clock via modem, serial, or you don´t want to follow the directions above, follow these steps to set the time on your clock:
-Launch TimeCentre Communications and go into the SETUP section.
-Set the REAL TIME CLOCK UPDATE option to YES.
-Poll your clock like you normally do and the first thing that it will do is to synchronize the time on the clock with the time on your PC.

If you have an older version of TimeCentre Communications that does not support REAL TIME CLOCK UPDATE, then you need to use the program called Data Clock Maintenance to update the time on the clock(s). Firstly, verify that the time is correct on the PC. Then, launch Data Clock Maintenance from the TimeCentre group in the START menu, select the appropriate clock number in the scrolling field in the bottom right corner, check the box next to Update Date/Time, and press the download button.

Following are some alternative ideas to changing the clock time while employees are clocked in. Single-shift and Double-shift operations simply need to change the time on the clock after everyone has left for the day. Round the clock operations need to plan more carefully. Here are some suggestions for dealing with these issues:

Single-Clock:
You will need to have all employees clock out before you change the clocks time. After all employees have clocked out, download all the clock punches. Set the clock to the new time, and have all employees clock in again.

Multi-Clock:
One option with multi-clocks is that you can designate certain clocks to be set before the time change, and certain clocks to be corrected after the time change. If an employee will be working through the time change, he would punch in at the clock already set to the new time and punch out on the same clock. Alternately, employees that punch in at the clock to be corrected after the time change can punch out at the same clock which is still using the old time.
