Configuring the Five Lunch Time Scenarios in Ingress & TCMS V3

Configuring the Five Lunch Time Scenarios in Ingress & TCMS V3

Introduction
FingerTec Ingress & TCMS V3 allow users to manage their attendance records even better. One such method is being able to set the remaining time of their lunch break to either work time or overtime. This allows employees to resume their job earlier after lunch break and claim whatever remaining time they have.

Benefit
By having this options, it provides flexibility to the organization to manage the employee's attendance as every organization has different lunch configuration. This is because some companies offer a paid-lunch system where the company will pay for the remaining lunch time of each worker.  There are five lunch time scenarios in Ingress & TCMS V3 that can be configured to suit the user’s preference.

This guide will take you through the scenarios and steps that are required to configure them.
