What is the difference between Warnings and Exceptions?

Question

How are Warnings and Exceptions different?

Answer

Warnings are alerts that highlight operational concerns without compliance impact (Late Punches, Missed/Enforced Breaks, and Auto Clock Out), they are not dismissible.

In contrast, Exceptions (such as Missed Meal Breaks or Reporting Pay) are tied to labor compliance and may affect costs and reporting. Exceptions may appear as flags in punch details and can be managed if the 'Can manage exceptions' permission is enabled. Some exceptions are dismissible (except for Overtime, Split Shift/Spread of Hours, Clopening, or Last-Minute Schedule Changes).
