Start Time and Stop Time that Crosses Midnight

Issue/Symptom/Question

What does PENTA do with hours when the Start and Stop Time (Time In and Time Out) cross Midnight or is two days?

Applies To

Payroll Time Entry

Resolution/Fix/Answer

PENTA Assigns the Work Date for the Hours to both Start and Stop, even if the stop time is the next day.  If the Day should end and a new Work Day begin, then a new row with a 00:00 start time will be needed.

Here is the message PENTA provides when the Stop time and midnight is not entered:

Warning: Stop Time should be greater than Start Time. Do you want to continue?



 The message can be skipped and the Start and Stop will share the same date.

Start Time 

10/23/2018 11:00 PM

Stop Time

10/23/2018  7:00 AM
