Clokc in and out problem

Question

hi,
I have a requirement :I need to give the error message when the employee no "clock in or
clock out"record. but some employee need 2 pair time event record, another employee need 1 pair,
this restrict according to their "daily work schdule". some DWS need clock in and out only once time(one pair),
some DWS need clock in and out two times (2 pair)
for example:
daily work schedule AAA: fixed work time: 08:00 - 17:30 , break :12:00-13:30
so thik kind of people need 2 pair time event.
08:00 clock in
12:00 clock out
13:30 clock in
17:30 clock out
now my problem is : if the employee no clock out record at 12:00 and no clock in record at 13:30
the system will think 08:00 and 17:30 as one pair ,so not give the error message. so how to solove
this question?
thanks!

I see your point.    Perhaps the TE schema may need additional set up in the schema as follows
1) Shift in Daily work schedule is 0800 - 1700 (meal breaks 1200 - 1300)
2) Note that in positive TE, 0800 / 1200 form a time pair and 1300 - 1700 form the next time pair
3) You may want to use the clock out - clock in = hours to compare against the time pair in (2)
    if the hours > time pair in (2) AND there exists only one pair of clock in / out for the day
    then you may deduce there must be a missing clock in / out for meal breaks
My 2 cents.   Hope this thought may help in one way or the other
Cheers
