Manage Standardization Rules

Updated At: 2026-01-27

Available for

Plan Standard Plan, Enterprise Plan

You can check the ‘standardized hours’ by comparing the scheduled hours with worked hours according to the standardization rules set in ‘Manage > Standardization Rule’.
These rules can be set for each position and are reflected in the report under ‘Standardized Hours’.

Web

First, check if the standardization rule feature is set in Company Settings - Report to use this feature.
You can select whether to calculate the working hours based on attendances or shifts as the ‘standardized hours’.

Note

Based on the selected standardization rule, standardized hours are calculated by position from attendance records and shifts.

Go to Manage > Standardization Rule menu.
You can check the default settings and set additional rules for each position.

‘Standardized hours’ are calculated according to set rules and displayed in reports.
For ‘Standardized hours’ calculation, you can customize the start and end times separately.

① When Calculating Standardized Hours Based on Attendances

If no shift is linked to the attendance record, standardized hours are calculated based on the attendance record.
When currently working, standardized hours are shown as ‘0’ in the real-time report.
When missing clock-out time, standardized hours are shown as ‘0’.

💡 When leave overlaps

If leave time overlaps with an attendance record, hours are first standardized based on leave time and then standardized based on shift time according to the standardization rules.

- Standardized clock-in time: If the clock-in time overlaps with leave and is earlier than the leave end time, use the leave end time. Otherwise, use the clock-in time.
e.g.) Leave 09:30–14:30, attendance record 10:35–19:30 → Standardized clock-in time: 14:30

- Standardized clock-out time: If the clock-out time overlaps with leave and is later than the leave start time, use the leave start time. Otherwise, use the clock-out time.
e.g.) Leave 13:30–18:00, attendance record 10:35–13:40 → Standardized clock-out time: 13:30

② When Calculating Standardized Hours Based on Shifts

If no attendance record is linked to the shift, standardized hours are calculated based on the shift's start/end time.
When missing clock-out record linked to the shift, standardized hours are calculated using the shift's end time.

Advanced Settings

💡 Note

The following advanced options are available only when 'standardize by shifts' is enabled under Company settings > report > standardization rule feature.

Exclude shifts without clock-in records from standardization: When calculating standardized hours based on shifts by comparing shifts with attendance records, you can choose whether to exclude shifts without clock-in records from standardization.

💡 Behavior by option setting

- Option off : Shifts without clock-in records are included in standardization, using shift hours (e.g., 8h)
- Option on : Shifts without clock-in records are excluded from standardization (recorded as 0 hours in standardized report columns)

Subtract manual break times from standardized hours: When calculating standardized hours in reports, you can choose to subtract manual break times from attendance records along with automatic break times when calculating standardized hours in reports.

💡 Behavior by option setting

- Option off : When calculating standardized hours in reports, only automatic break times are subtracted, and manual break times from attendance records are not subtracted.
- Option on : When calculating standardized hours in reports, both automatic break times and manual break times from attendance records are subtracted.

Start Time / End Time Standardization Option

Start Time Standardization	Instructions
Always use start time	When calculating standardized hours, the start time is always based on the shift's start time.
Always use clock in time	When calculating standardized hours, the start time is always based on the attendance's clock-in time.
Use start time for early clock in, and use clock in time for late clock in	When calculating standardized hours, use the ① shift's start time for early clock in(arrive earlier than the shift's start time) and the ② attendance's clock-in time for late clock in(arrive later than the shift's start time).
Use start time for early clock in, and use clock in time (round up) for late clock in	When calculating standardized hours, use the ① shift's start time for early clock in(arrive earlier than the shift's start time) and the ② 'rounded up' clock-in time on the attendance record for late clock in(arrive later than the shift's start time).
Use clock in time for early clock in, and use start time for late clock in	When calculating standardized hours, use the ① attendance's clock-in time for early clock in(arrive earlier than the shift's start time) and the ② shift's start time for late clock in(arrive later than the shift's start time).
Use clock in time (round up) for early clock in, and use start time for late clock in	When calculating standardized hours, use the ① 'rounded up' clock-in time on the attendance record for early clock in(arrive earlier than the shift's start time) and the ② shift's start time for late clock in(arrive later than the shift's start time).

End Time Standardization	Instructions
Always use end time	When calculating standardized hours, the end time is always based on the shift's end time.
Always use clock out time	When calculating standardized hours, the end time is always based on the attendance's clock-out time.
Use clock out time for early clock out, and use end time for late clock out	When calculating standardized hours, use the ① attendance's clock-out time for early clock out(leave earlier than the shift's end time) and the ② shift's end time for late clock out(leave later than the shift's end time).
Use clock out time for early clock out (round down), and use end time for late clock out	When calculating standardized hours, use the ① 'rounded down' clock-out time on the attendance record for early clock out(leave earlier than the shift's end time) and the ② shift's end time for late clock out(leave later than the shift's end time).
Use end time for early clock out, and use clock out time for late clock out	When calculating standardized hours, use the ① shift's end time for early clock out(leave earlier than the shift's end time) and the ② attendance's clock-out time for late clock out(leave later than the shift's end time).
Use end time for early clock out, and use clock out time (round down) for late clock out	When calculating standardized hours, use the ① shift's end time for early clock out(leave earlier than the shift's end time) and the ② 'rounded down' clock-out time on the attendance record for late clock out(leave later than the shift's end time).
