Time warnings

Updated by Daniel Sjögren

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, in some cases, its warnings will no longer appear. However, warnings will not always disappear when a punch is approved. If the warning is still “true,” the red frame around the employee avatar will still be visible even after the attest. For instance, The punch creates overtime will always have a red frame unless you remove the overtime.

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

When processing your employees’ shift swap requests, the warnings displayed will be grouped up to indicate which one of the two employees swapping the warning(s) apply to.
Warnings are not visualized in the case of the Time off bank holiday rule. We do, however, have a long-term vision to support this.

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