Rounding is used to shift the clocked time to the nearest rounding time, i.e. if the rounding time is set for 20 minutes and an employee clocks at 12:17 then the time will be adjusted to the closest 20 minutes, therefore the clocking will be changed to 12:20. If the clocking was for say at 12:04 then the clocking would become 12:00.
Once defined, select Next. If rounding is to be used (Yes) continue with step 11 else go to step 12.
