How to enable the schedule reinforcement feature:
Go on your Toast account, and look for "UI options" under "Other Setup."
2. Scroll down to the "Time Clock" section and enable the "Enforce Scheduling" option.
3. Save & Publish your changes.
How to adjust schedule reinforcement settings:
1. Go back to the main page on Toast and then go to "Scheduling" under "Labor"
2. From there, you can adjust your preferences in terms of early clock-in/out and late clock-in/out.
