Maitre'D automatically generates the schedule according to the work schedule every week. If this option is disabled, the employee has to punch in and punch out in order for the system to calculate the working hours, but the system can correct the time according to the schedule. For more information on the punch corrections the system brings up when using the work schedule, see the Use Schedule field in the Options section.
