With the integration between Sling and Toast, your schedule is automatically sent to Toast every hour. You can use this information to prevent early clock-in/out on your POS.

How to enable the schedule enforcement feature

  1. Go to your Toast account, and look for "UI options" under "Other Setup."

    Please note that you may need to click "Show me all links" on the home page to see UI Options.

How to adjust schedule enforcement settings:

2. From there, you can adjust your preferences in terms of early clock-in/out and late clock-in/out. The limit for these grace periods is 90 minutes.


FAQs

Q: What happens if an employee clocks in too early or without a scheduled shift?

A: A manager will need to enter their PIN on Toast POS to approve this unscheduled shift. The timesheet will be imported on Sling as an unscheduled timesheet.

Q: What happens if an employee clocks in too late for a scheduled shift or clocks out too early/late?

A: A manager will need to enter their PIN on Toast POS to approve this clock-in/out. The timesheet will be imported on Sling and remain linked to the scheduled shift.
