Entries Restriction - Day(s) of Week and Holidays

Description: In this topic, the user will learn how to restrict employees from adding entries on select days of the week and/or holidays for hourly account types. This feature restricts punch entries from being entered on one or more days of the week or for a specific holiday schedule. At the time of clock in, after selecting the client and service code, and clicking continue, the employee will be prompted with an alert stating "This client is not allowed to receive this service on this day of the week or this holiday." The entry will not be allowed to be entered. The employee will only be able to select Cancel. The days of the week restrictions and holiday restrictions can be used separately or together.

*Please note: This is an instance-level setting. Please submit a help desk ticket (Zendesk) to use this feature. To restrict holidays, a separate holiday schedule may need to be created for this feature.
