Fareclock allows users to customize various format settings to ensure consistency and clarity in time tracking and reporting. These settings control how dates, times, names, durations, and other elements are displayed. Below is a breakdown of each formatting option and its available configurations.
1. Date Format
Admins can select how dates appear in reports and records:
mm/dd/yy – Example: 03/14/25
dd/mm/yyyy – Example: 14/03/2025
mm/dd – Example: 03/14
2. Four-Digit Year
Enables or disables the use of a four-digit year in date formats.
3. Date Separator
Slash ( / ) – Example: 03/14/2025
Hyphen ( - ) – Example: 03-14-2025
4. Day of the Week
Determines how the day of the week appears in date formats:
Before date – Example: Monday, 03/14/2025

5. Time Format

Units – Example: 90 min
Minute – Example: 90 min
Decimal – Example: 1.5 hours
Hundredth – Example: 1.50 hours
7. Zero Duration Blank
If enabled, hides zero-duration values from reports.
8. Pay Accuracy
Defines the decimal precision for pay calculations (e.g., 2 decimal places).
9. Zero Pay Blank
If enabled, hides pay values that equal zero.
10. Name Format
Adjusts how employee names are displayed:
Last, First – Example: Doe, John
First Last – Example: John Doe
11. Display Middle Name
Full – Example: John Michael Doe
Initial – Example: John M. Doe

12. All User Fields as Columns
If checked, all user fields under HR Portal > Users will be available as fields. If not checked, then a curated list of columns will be available.

Imperial – Uses miles and feet
14. Schedule Event Title Format
Determines how scheduled events are labeled:
Shift Class – Displays the shift classification
Start Time – Displays the event’s starting time
15. Punches per Time Card
This defines the maximum number of punches recorded on a single time card. In the Time Card report, this means the number of punches shown per line or row. While a single time or shift card can technically have an unlimited number of punches, the report will wrap additional punches into multiple lines if they exceed the defined limit, ensuring all data is clearly displayed.
