The first and only thing you need to know about any lunch punch is punches will always be broken into 15-minute sections. No matter when an employee punches out, the system will adjust to the next 15-minute increment. The actual times of punch out and in are kept in 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 the employee never left or ~~are~~ cross clocking. If the time is greater than 2 hours we assume the employee is working a split shift and the time the employee was 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.
