Register Parameters: Employee/Supervisor

Activating the employee shift schedule verification, Configurator allows you to validate when an employee clocks in or out at the POS against a local shift schedule. You may also set a maximum threshold before or after which a manager override is required when an employee attempts to clock in or out beyond the scheduled time. Employees clock in and out at the POS by selecting the Clock In or Clock Out function key and then entering their employee number. This number is verified against the employee table. An enhancement to this functionality now also verifies the employee number against a local schedule to determine whether the employee is clocking in or out within the allotted time for their scheduled shift. You can set a threshold beyond which a manager sign-on is required for the employee to clock in or out.

Configurator provides options that allow you to turn this feature on in the Register Parameters maintenance screen. When activated, this feature uses a shift schedule uploaded from a third-party labor scheduling tool to validate the clock in or clock out times.

Note Note

These settings and options are applied to all employees in a defined store or region. Individual employee records are created in the Employee and Profile maintenance screen under the Administration tab. For more information, see Employee.
