On this page, you can configure early and late clock-in and clock-out limits. The maximum grace period is 90 minutes.
Make sure to save your changes after updating these settings.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if an employee clocks in too early or without a scheduled shift?
A manager must enter their PIN on Toast POS to approve this unscheduled shift. The timesheet will be imported into Sling as an unscheduled timesheet.
What happens if an employee clocks in too late for a scheduled shift or clocks out too early or late?
A manager must enter their PIN on Toast POS to approve this clock-in or clock-out. The timesheet will be imported into Sling and remain linked to the scheduled shift.
Why do some of the shifts sent to Toast not have a job attached?
This happens when the position of the shift exists as a job on Toast but does not match the jobs linked to this employee. Make sure your employees have the same positions in Sling and Toast.
Why are some of the shifts not sent to Toast?
This happens when the position of the shift in Sling does not exist as a job on Toast. It is recommended that you create positions in Toast first and then sync them with Sling.
