7.4 Daylight Saving TimeDLSTSetting

The Daylight Saving Time is a widely used system of adjusting the official local time forward to save energy. The
uniform time adopted during the implementation of this system is known as the DLST. Typically clocks are adjusted
forward one hour in the summer to make people early to bed and early to rise so as to make full use of illumination
resources and save electricity. Clocks are adjusted backward in autumn. The specific DLST regulations vary with
countries.

22
To meet the DLST requirement, the FRT supports the DLST function to adjust forward one hour at ×× (Hour): ××
(Minute) ×× (Day) ×× (Month) and backward one hour at ×× (Hour): ×× (Minute) ×× (Day) ×× (Month).For example,
adjust the clock forward one hour at 08: 00 on April 1, and backward one hour at 08: 00 on October 1. (As shown in the

4. How to calculate special overtime hours?

The following cases are deemed special overtime:
●When an EXCEL schedule record exists and attendance reports are used for attendance calculation, there are
check-in and check-out records though there is no schedule (or rest is arranged) for the current date.
●When no EXCEL schedule record is available, there are check-in and check-out records though Saturday and

the schedules of 31 days after 2012-1-1, that is, schedules from 2012-1-1 to 2012-1-31. If the scheduling date is
2012-1-6, the schedule setting report contains schedules of 31 days after 2012-1-6, that is, schedules from 2012-1-6 to
2012-2-5.
Step 5: Insert a USB flash drive into the USB port or SD card into the SD port of the device and upload the

6. What is the correct time format used in the setting reports?
A. The correct time format is shown in the following table.
Second Time
First Time Range Overtime Range
Shift Range
No. On-dut Off-dut On-dut Off-dut
Check-in Check-out
y y y y
1 09:00 18:00
2 09:00 12:00 13:30 18:00
3 09:05 18:00
Incorrect time formats are as follows:
● A time value is beyond the time range, such as 24:00.
● A time value contains Chinese characters, for example, 9:00, which differs from 9:00.
● A time value is preceded by a space. As shown in the following table, there is a space in front of 09:00 in
shift 1.

3 09:05 18:00

● A time value contains special characters, for example, _9:00 and 09:-1.
The device performs validity check and error tolerance for other formats.
7. How does the self-service attendance terminal collect the correct attendance time based on the preset shift time?
A: The device collects attendance time based on the following principles:
a ) Adopt the earliest time for normal attendance and the nearest time for abnormal attendance.
b ) Adopt the normal attendance time if the normal attendance time and abnormal attendance time coexist.
c ) Adopt a median in the attendance time range.

The following uses four examples to describe the preceding principles.

Example 1: normal attendance
Attendance Time
09:00 — 12:00 13:00 — 18:00
Range
Attendance time of #1
8:30, 8:35, 11:55,12:01, 12:50, 18:02,19:00
employee
Statistical result based
8:30 12:01 12:50 18:02
on attendance rules

Description: The attendance time 8:30 and 8:35 are earlier than the on-duty time 9:00 and they are within the normal
attendance time range. Therefore, 8:30 is adopted for the on-duty time 9:00 based on the principle of adopting the
earliest time for normal attendance. 18:02 and 19:00 are later than the off-duty time 18:00, and therefore, 18:02 is
adopted based on the same principle.

34
Example 2: Late arrival
Attendance Time
09:00 — 12:00 13:00 — 18:00
Range
Attendance time of #1
9:01, 9:04, 12:01, 12:50, 18:00
employee
Statistical result based
9:01 12:01 12:50 18:00
on attendance rules
Description: Employer 1 checks in for work at 9:01 and 9:04 and he/she is late based on the preset on-duty time. Based
on the principle of adopting the nearest time for abnormal attendance, the correct check-in time is 9:01 rather than 9:04
because 9:01 is nearer 9:00.

Example 3: Early leave

Attendance Time
09:00 — 12:00 13:00 — 18:00
Range
Attendance time of #1
9:01, 11:40, 11:55, 12:50, 18:01
employee
Statistical result based
8:50 11:55 12:50 18:01
on attendance rules
Description: The attendance time 12:50 is adopted based on the principle of adopting a median in the attendance time
range. For the attendance time range from 9:00 to 12:00, the normal check-out time range for the off-duty time 12:00 is
from 12:00 to 12:30 (that is, 12:00 + (13:00 - 12:00)/2). Therefore, the calculated time of attendance is shown in the
preceding table.

Example 4: Absence
Case 1:
Attendance Time
09:00 — 12:00 13:00 — 18:00
Range
Attendance time of #1
8:50, 12:50, 18:01
employee
Statistical result based
8:50 12:50 18:01
on attendance rules
Description: The attendance time 12:50 is adopted based on the principle of adopting a median in the attendance time
range. For the attendance time range from 9:00 to 12:00, the normal check-out time range for the off-duty time 12:00 is
from 12:00 to 12:30 (that is, 12:00 + (13:00 - 12:00)/2). Therefore, the check-out time is blank. The normal check-in
time range for the on-duty time 13:00 is from 12:30 to 13:00. The calculated time of attendance is shown in the
preceding table.

Case 2:
Attendance Time
09:00 — 12:00 13:00 — 18:00
Range
Attendance time of #1
8:50, 11:55, 12:20, 18:01
employee
Statistical result based
8:50 12:20 18:01
on attendance rules

35
Description: The time 12:20 is adopted based on the principle of adopting a median in the attendance time range. The
normal check-out time range for the off-duty time 12:00 is from 12:00 to 12:30 (that is, 12:00 + (13:00 - 12:00)/2).
Therefore, the check-out time of the employee is 12:20. The normal check-in time range for the on-duty time 13:00 is
from 12:30 to 13:00. Therefore, the check-in time of the employee is blank. The calculated time of attendance is shown
in the preceding table.
