Time warnings

Updated 3 days ago by Leigh Hutchens

Time warnings are mainly displayed on punches, but some can also occur on absences or even shifts. Note that once a punch has been approved, its warning(s) will no longer appear.

Time warnings by schedule item

Absence warnings

Absence warnings are shown with a red frame. On multi-day absences, red frames are only shown on the specific days that have a warning:

However, in the Edit absence panel, all the warnings of that multi-day absence will appear together with the dates to which the warnings apply:

If you reassign an absence, any warnings won't update until after you've clicked "Save".

The below table lists the different kinds of absence warnings available in Quinyx and details which parameter setting controls them.

Configuring warnings

Time warnings are typically set up by the Account managers and are global for the account. If you make a change, it means that it will impact the entire account, not just the unit or section you're currently in.

The warnings are can be configured in Quinyx under Account Settings > Agreements > Warnings.
