ADP Time and Attendance Management 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Under the FMLA, how many weeks of unpaid leave is an eligible employee entitled to per year?
- 12 weeks (Correct answer)
- 6 weeks
- 8 weeks
- 16 weeks
Correct answer: 12 weeks
The FMLA entitles eligible employees of covered employers to up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave per year for qualifying family and medical reasons.
Question 2: How does ADP handle time tracking for employees who work in multiple states?
- ADP can track hours by state worked and apply the correct state overtime and minimum wage rules based on where hours were actually performed (Correct answer)
- ADP applies only the home state's rules regardless of where the employee works
- Multi-state time tracking requires a separate third-party system
- ADP applies federal rules only for multi-state employees
Correct 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.
Question 3: What is a 'grace period' in ADP Time & Attendance and what is its purpose?
- A configurable window of minutes around a scheduled punch time during which a punch is treated as on-time without triggering an exception (Correct answer)
- The number of days an employee has to correct a missed punch
- The period before overtime kicks in on a given day
- The number of consecutive absent days before FMLA is triggered
Correct 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.
Question 4: In ADP, what is a 'missed punch exception' and how should it be resolved?
- 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 (Correct answer)
- A missed punch is automatically filled in by ADP using the employee's schedule
- A missed punch always defaults to the employee's scheduled shift end time
- ADP sends the employee an automatic deduction for missed punches
Correct 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.
Question 5: What California-specific overtime rule must ADP be configured to handle for non-exempt employees?
- 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 (Correct answer)
- Overtime applies only on the seventh consecutive day, not on daily hours
- California follows the same federal overtime rules as all other states
- California overtime is calculated monthly, not weekly
Correct 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.
Question 6: What is the purpose of the ADP Time & Attendance Manager Dashboard?
- To give supervisors real-time visibility into employee attendance, exceptions, schedule adherence, and pending approvals in one interface (Correct answer)
- To process payroll runs for the manager's department
- To generate W-2s for the manager's direct reports
- To configure benefit deductions for the team
Correct 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.
