Question

A worker is supposed to report for a morning shift with a scheduled

start time of 08:00 AM. In the related shift limits, the grace period is set to 15
minutes and the Start Early period to 60 minutes. The worker punches in at 7:15
AM.
What exception Is generated?

Answer 1

The exception generated is an "Early Punch" or "Start Early" exception since the worker clocked in at 7:15 AM, which is 45 minutes earlier than the permitted Start Early period beginning at 7:00 AM.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a worker is scheduled to start their morning shift at 08:00 AM and there is a 15-minute grace period and a 60-minute Start Early period, and the worker punches in at 7:15 AM, then the worker has started their shift too early.

Given that the Start Early period allows the worker to punch in up to 60 minutes before the scheduled start time without penalty, the worker has clocked in 45 minutes before the Start Early period begins (the Start Early period would begin at 7:00 AM). Therefore, the exception generated in this case would likely be an "Early Punch" or "Start Early" exception.
