Grace Post Schedule End |
Number of minutes, after a shift ends, that an employee can punch out and still have the shift match the schedule. Example: If the grace period is 60 minutes and an employee punches out 65 minutes after their shift ends, the shift will not be matched. If they punch out 55 minutes after their shift ends, points would be assessed if the punches fall outside the other parameters. |

Grace Pre Schedule End |
Number of minutes before a shift ends, that an employee can punch out and still have the shift match the schedule. Example: If the grace period is 30 minutes and an employee punches out 35 minutes before their shift ends, the shift will not be matched.
