Exception Value

The Exception Value screen opens a view of all the exceptions tracked by the system. Examples of exceptions are missed clocking information, an employee badging at an unauthorized input device, employees trying to schedule a shift which causes them to exceed their approved hours, etc.

Depending on the Severity Level assigned to a payroll exception code, these codes can appear on the LaborView as a Critical Exception, a Warning Exception or an Informational Exception. Critical Exceptions must be resolved by the supervisor before payroll processing can be completed for that employee.

With Scheduling Exception Values, users may be able to override exception messages based on the Severity Level assigned to the exception and the Role permission of the user.

Note: If the user is able to override the exception then the level displayed in the message is Warning regardless of the actual exception definition severity level. If the user is not able to override the error then the level is displayed as Critical regardless of the exception definition. For example, if an exception is defined as a Warning in this screen and the user can only override an Informational message, the severity level appears as Critical in the message.
