Lockout Zones (Hand Reader)

Some Clocks can be programmed with Lockout Zones. These are Time Zones that are downloaded to the clock which will prevent employees to use the clock during these periods of time. This could force an employee who is tardy to report to a supervisor first in order to Punch In. A zone can be set up for an entire week or individual days. The example below shows a Zone of 6:00 PM until 11:59 PM on Saturday and another for 12:00 AM on Sunday until 6:00 AM on Sunday, effectively locking out employees from punching the clock from 6:00 PM Saturday until 6:00 AM on Sunday.

To add a Lockout Zone:

• Click Add
• Select the Zone Number from the Zone drop-down window
• Check the days the Zone applies to
• Enter a Start #1 time
• Enter Stop #1 time. You can continue adding up to 3 more pairs of Stop and Start times
• Click Save
