Time and Attendance / View / Options / Schedule

Maitre'D has tools to manage and control efficiently the employees using the Time and Attendance schedule.

Restrict Punch:

When using schedules, use this option to restrict employee punch in or out only according to the schedule they are scheduled for. If he is not scheduled to work for a specific day, a warning message displays to advise him about the restriction.

Use Schedule Task:

When this option is activated, even if the employee has more than one task assigned, when punching in, he is limited only to the one specified in its schedule.

Use Schedule Time:

Use this option to have Maitre'D use the schedule time on the employee time sheet, when he punches in or out during the grace period specified in the "Delay for Punches" field.

NOTE: The Time Rounding field in the Time and Attendance setup screen overwrites the time used by the schedule punch entry. When using schedule, for optimal results, rounding time should be set to 1 minute.

Delay for Punches:

Enter (in minutes) the grace period that is used to validate a punch entry. This delay is verified in conjunction with the other schedule functionality.

When "Use Schedule Time" option is activated and "Restrict punch" option is not, the Maitre'D program only applies the delay to punch, on the period before punch in and after punch out. Maitre'D uses the schedule time for the punch entry.
 

When "Use Schedule Time" option is activated and "Restrict punch" option is also activated, the Maitre'D program will apply the delay to punch on the period before and after the punch in/out entry. Maitre'D uses the schedule time for the punch entry.
 

When "Use Schedule Time" option is not activated and "Restrict punch" option is, the employee is able to punch in or out only during the grace period defined here. Maitre'D uses the clock time for the punch entry.
