Set late arrival, early departure and overtime rules

Steps

1. Under Company, click Settings.

3. Under Late Arrival, enter No penalty (min), Short day (min) and Half day (min).
4. Under Early Departure, enter the same three values.
5. Under Overtime (OT), enter the OT grace period (min), the Double-tap window (min) and the Ramadan reduction (hrs).
6. Under Working-hours shortfall, enter the Shortfall grace (minutes) and choose the Deduction mode: Proportional per hour (default) or Off — no shortfall deduction.
7. Click Save rules.

What MAJA does for you

• Late or early beyond the grace deducts the minutes missed themselves (Late); from the Short day threshold it is a short day (shift minus 1 hour, or the minutes missed when more); from the Half day threshold a half day; more than half the shift missing counts actual hours minus 2.
• A punch in only, or a punch out only, counts as a half day; no punch is absent.
• A second punch within the double-tap window is ignored (0 turns it off).
• Overtime is paid at ×1.25, night overtime (10 pm–4 am) at ×1.5, work on a rest day at ×1.5 and on a declared public holiday at ×1.5 or ×2.5 (your Settings choice).
• Working less than the employee's own standard day is deducted per hour at the payroll run, unless the mode is Off.

Good to know

• The late, early and OT grace rules apply to days built from a .dat file or an attendance machine. Days typed by hand count overtime above the standard day after 15 minutes.
• More than 2 hours of overtime in a day is shown as a warning on the payroll run.
• Ramadan periods themselves are declared in Public holidays.
• Reset defaults puts back 15 / 30 / 60 minutes, a 15-minute OT grace and a 2-minute double-tap window. It also clears the Ramadan periods declared in Public holidays, so add them again afterwards.
