The Differences In Rounding Types On The 7500E

The 7500E has Hours rounding and Punch rounding. Hours rounding rounds total hours worked by the rounding unit. Punch rounding rounds each punch by the rounding unit. The Rounding Units are the time intervals that determine if totals or punches are to round to the nearest 15 minutes (1/4 of an hour) or the nearest 6 minutes (1/10 of an hour.) The Breakpoint is number of minutes that will determine if the punch rounds forward or backward.
