===Lunch Punching===
The first and only thing you need to know about any lunch punch is they will always be broken into 15-minute sections. No matter when you punch out, the system will adjust to the next 15-minute increment. The actual times of punch out and in are kept i the system and the rounding may move the adjusted times forward or backward depending on the situation. Just remember it is breaking the real amount of time punched out into 15-minute sections.
The only times outside the realm of a lunch punch are punches less than 5 minutes or greater than 2 hours. In the case of less than 5 minutes, we assume you never left or are cross clocking.  If the time is greater than 2 hours we assume you are working a split shift and the time you were gone was not a lunch hour but a different shift altogether. Easy way to think about this is to take the actual start time of break time and the actual end time of the break, then block it into 15-minute chunks of time. These time blocks are always rounded to the next 15-minute time when the result is over the block.
<b>Example:</b>
No matter what time you punch out the time clock system will attempt to change your hours to the nearest 15-minute block. If you punched out at 1:33PM and you punched back in at 2:02PM (blue line), the adjustment from the time clock would make it look like you punched out at 1:30PM and back in at 2:00PM (green line). If you go over a 15-minute block it will move to the next 15 minutes for punch out time. Punching out at 1:01PM and back in at 1:17PM (red line) will adjust as a 30-minute break showing from 100PM to 1:30PM (orange line).
