I heard that badge tracking for in-office hours is back. Does anyone know how they’re calculating the hours? Is it based on your first badge-in and last badge-out of the day?
I’m curious because sometimes when I leave for lunch, I use the café door, which is usually open, so I don’t have to badge out. However, when I come back in, I sometimes have to badge in again. Does anyone know how that affects the hours being tracked?
It never went away. The only thing that went away was transparency. Now, only HR gets the data and uses it to make decisions based on their own subjective view.
You’re manager submitted a raise request for you? It was denied? They were likely told “budget” but your attendance % could have played a factor and HR doesn’t share.
@ap nor should you. But 8 hours at work and an hour lunch break equates to 9 hours...? He-l I remember back in the day managers and above were required to stay 9-10 hours. Dark times and glad to have put this place behind me
I will not stay 9 hrs as it's not required per policy. Look it up for yourself
@OP from what I remember when I was at Fiserv and when they first implemented badge tracking in Omaha, was they track the first badge swipe and the last. It was not uncommon for folks to leave for lunch during the day however every door had a badge scanner. For example, you come in, badge in (thats ur first swipe), you leave campus and badge out, then come back and badge in. Then at the end of the day you leave and badge out (ur last swipe). The hours that "count" are when you are in the building and that's whats key.
I can't say for certain how ur specific scenario will be handled but if there's an exploit use it and keep it to yourself.
I was a manager and our VP would get a report sent out weekly about badge swipes and if someone wasn't in office for the allotted 8-9 hours you would get a talking to and need to explain why you weren't in office.
One last note, this was back in 2024/2025 when Sapience (computer/click tracking) was still in full force and from what I'm told by some friends/colleagues that are still FiServants things have changed (for the good, better, or worse) and it is dependent on location, manager, etc. So take this as more of generalized info more than a specific answer to ur question.
Now go badge in and create some shareholder value FiServant lmao
It's back for BH only as far I know but yes, first and last scan count only. Although the entire scan history is available if someone wants to dig deeper.
just your first and last badge counts as far as i know
