The Advanced Settings tab in Attendance Settings in Mekari Talenta gives Super Admins access to configure the time zone and clock-out conversion. Through this feature, employee attendance recorded while working outside the main office time zone or moving between time zones can be recorded and calculated more consistently and accurately.

Important
To use this function, you must activate subscriptions for the Live attendance and Internationalization features. Contact support-hr@mekari.com for more information. 

The following are the steps to manage Advanced Settings in Mekari Talenta.

  1. Go to the “Settings” menu.

  2. Then, click Time, and select Attendance.

  3. Then, select “Advanced settings”.

  4. Click the “pencil” icon to enable or disable the Timezone or Clock out conversion features.

  5. Then, check one of the features you want to enable.

    - Check “Record and show timezone in attendance data” to automatically record and display the user's time zone each time an employee records attendance. Then, click the "Save changes" button to save the changes. The employee attendance data on the Attendance data page will then include the clock-in and clock-out time zones, as shown in the following image.

    - Check “Convert clock out time to clock in timezone” so that the system automatically converts the clock-out time to match the time zone used when the user clocked in before the data is saved (this does not affect the clock-in, break-in, or break-out times). Then, click the "Save changes" button to save the changes.  To enable this feature, you must check the “Record and show timezone in attendance data” feature.
    - Check ”Show breaks fields in attendance requests” so that the system displays the “Break start” and “Break end” fields on the employee attendance request form (attendance request). Then, click the "Save changes" button to save the changes.
