If transfer punches are not rounded, it is possible for a rounded punch to be later. The transfer punch will occur before the in punch, causing an error. You must manually update the punches.
Time Clock Duration Rounding
This rounding applies to time clock timesheet configuration groups. The rounding rule applies to the total duration of time worked, not the actual in and out punch total time.

Shift Grace
This rounding applies to time clock timesheet configuration groups. The rule rounds the punch time forward or back to reflect that of the shift start or end time.
This example would round the time clock entry up or down to the shift start or end time if the employee clocked in between 1 and 5 minutes early or late.
