COMPANY SETTINGS
Company settings is accessed by clicking on your company's name on the top right corner. Here, you can change various settings which apply to all employees in your company, such as default new employee policies.
1. Company Number
Your company number is assigned to you upon creation of your account, and cannot be changed. You and your employees will need this number to log into Realtime Timekeeper and WebConnect, respectively.
2. Company Name
You can change your company name at any time. Your company name appears on the headers of some of your reports.
3. Seconds Resolution
You have the following options concerning the seconds portion of the timestamps of your employees' punches:
- Truncate - (Recommended) Disregard the seconds portion of the timestamp
- Round - Round each punch to the nearest minute
- Keep - Keep the seconds portion
4. Look-Back Window
This option applies to the Timecards and Reports areas of Realtime Timekeeper. Your entry here is the number of days from the beginning of each pay period that Realtime will present the previous pay period by default, allowing you to prepare timecards for payroll. Past that number of days, the default view will be the current pay period.
5. Max Shift Length
Max shift length is the longest duration from the first punch of the day that an employee can be on the clock before the system assumes that they've forgotten to clock out and generates an exception.
6. Max Off Clock Length
Max off clock length is the longest duration an employee can clock back into the same shift after clocking out.
If an employee clocks back in before the max off clock length, their max shift length countdown will continue from the original In punch.
If an employee clocks back in past the max off clock length, a new max shift length countdown will start.
7. Overtime Rule Set
Select the overtime rule you would like to assign to all new employees by default. Or select None if you do not wish to use overtime rules, or assign a overtime rule manually.

17. Security
A creating a default password here will cause it to be automatically be assigned to new users (Timekeeper login credentials) or employees (WebConnect and DeskPunch login credentials). This password is also automatically applied to these same fields if "Require Change" is set for any of these passwords. The default password should be easy to remember, and does not need to be secure, since your user or employee will be prompted to change it after entering it.
18. Employee Custom Properties
You can add, edit, or delete custom text boxes to store employee information we don't already provide space for, e.g., date of birth, social security number, etc.
- Adding a Custom Property will create a field of the same name in the General tab of every existing and future employee.
- Editing a Custom Property will change the name of the field in every employee record, but will not modify any existing data.
- Deleting a Custom Property will remove the field from your employees' General tab, and any information stored in this field, for all employees, will be deleted.
