How does ADP handle time tracking for employees who work in multiple states?

Answer: ADP can track hours by state worked and apply the correct state overtime and minimum wage rules based on where hours were actually performed

ADP Time & Attendance supports multi-state hour tracking and applies each state's specific overtime and minimum wage requirements based on the location where work was performed.

What is a 'grace period' in ADP Time & Attendance and what is its purpose?

Answer: A configurable window of minutes around a scheduled punch time during which a punch is treated as on-time without triggering an exception

Grace periods in ADP allow employees to punch in or out within a defined window around their scheduled time without generating a tardiness or early-departure exception.

In ADP, what is a 'missed punch exception' and how should it be resolved?

Answer: A missed punch exception is flagged when an employee fails to record a required clock-in or clock-out; it must be resolved by a manager or payroll admin entering the correct time

Missed punch exceptions in ADP alert managers that a time record is incomplete; the manager or payroll administrator must manually enter the correct punch time to complete the record.

What California-specific overtime rule must ADP be configured to handle for non-exempt employees?

Answer: Daily overtime at 1.5x for hours over 8 in a workday and 2x for hours over 12, in addition to weekly overtime over 40 hours

California requires overtime at 1.5x for daily hours exceeding 8 (and 2x for hours exceeding 12), plus double time on the 7th consecutive day, requirements that must be specifically configured in ADP.

What is the purpose of the ADP Time & Attendance Manager Dashboard?

Answer: To give supervisors real-time visibility into employee attendance, exceptions, schedule adherence, and pending approvals in one interface

The ADP Manager Dashboard consolidates attendance data, exceptions, and approval queues so supervisors can monitor their team's time records and resolve issues without contacting payroll.
