Set Up the LunchAttest Assignment Code

To set up the LunchAttest assignment code, complete the following steps.

If every employee using the Lunch Attestation feature is subject to the same rule, you could update the existing ALL assignment code. However, it is a common practice to replicate the ALL assignment code and then set up and use that replicated assignment code. The following instructions explain how to first replicate the assignment code and then set it up.

1. Navigate to Configuration section > Assignments card > Assignment Code screen.
2. Click in the Assignment Source Code field and then select LunchAttest from the Field Look Up Values list.
3. Click Search and then open the Standard LunchAttest record.
4. Under Actions, click Replicate.
5. Enter values in the required fields.
   • Effective Date - the date that the replicated Lunch Attestation rule will start processing
   • Code - the new name for replicated Lunch Attestation rule
   • Description - the full description for the replicated Lunch Attestation rule
6. Click Save.
7. Click the Indicators tab and then, as desired, update the values in the indicator fields.
   • Calculations Standard 1 - select Yes to enable Lunch Attestation processing
   • Calculations Standard 2 - select Yes if Time and Attendance should generate an exception message when an employee does not answer the lunch break prompt

     Exception messages appear on employees' TCS screens and in LaborViews.

     

8. Click the Parameters tab and then enter a value in the parameter field.
   • Calculations Standard Alpha 1 - enter the code for the desired No Lunch special code

     Example: the code for the No Lunch special code may be NL; enter NL

     If you have not yet set up the No Lunch special code, see the Set Up the No Lunch Special Code section.

9. Click Save.
