When "Use Schedule Time" option is activated and "Restrict punch" option is also activated, the Maitre'D program will apply the delay to punch on the period before and after the punch in/out entry. Maitre'D uses the schedule time for the punch entry. When "Use Schedule Time" option is not activated and "Restrict punch" option is, the employee will be able to punch in or out only during the grace period defined here. Maitre'D uses the clock time for the punch entry.

This module allows to set up different employee functions in the restaurant. You can create up to 30 different tasks. Some examples of tasks are SERVER, COOK, MANAGER and DISHWASHER
Setup
Description
Enter the name of the job function in this field (15 characters maximum). This name may be the same as a P.O.S. Control function name. You may use this module to add job functions that are not involved in P.O.S. activities and do not need a P.O.S. number. Some examples of this are COOK and DISHWASHER. These employees only use the touch screen for punching in and punching out.
ID
When creating a new record, the next available number will be assigned by default as the ID, but the system will let you change it if the new number is not already assigned to another record in the same database table.
Department
Select the department, which this task belongs to. This assignment is helpful when sorting Time and Attendance reports.
Not Cumulated
If you enable this option, hours worked under this task will not be included in Overtime Calculation. Furthermore, these hours will not be calculated in the Labor Report. They will only appear on it for information purposes. This option is useful to count hours that are not to be paid to the employee (Example: non-attendance). Otherwise, hours will be calculated normally.
NOTE: This field is usually not used.
Wage
Minimum
Enter the minimum rate per hour that you want to pay to any employee using this function. If you enter an amount lower than this amount when entering new employee information, Maitre'D rejects the number and displays the minimum income.
Maximum
Enter the maximum rate per hour that you want to pay to any employee using this function. If you enter an amount higher than this amount when entering new employee information, Maitre'D rejects the number and displays the maximum income.
Paid Coffee Breaks
Enable this option to show any coffee break on the workstation.
NOTE: If this option is disabled, only coffee breaks with the Paid option disabled in Time & Attendance / View / Options / Coffee Break are available, unless there is no unpaid break defined. In such a case, paid breaks will be displayed.
Function
To use this group of options, you must check the "CHECK SERVER'S FUNCTIONS" field in Time & Attendance/ View/ Options. Furthermore, for this to take effect, the "PUNCH" option must be enabled in the employee's setup, in P.O.S. Control.
This function is useful if you have employees who have more then one function in P.O.S. Control and you do not want certain functions to be available when the employee punches in under one task. Enabling options of this group allows to select which functions will be active for that particular task. For example, the employee is sometimes a server and sometimes a cashier, but never at the same time. You have the policy that servers cannot close their own checks. If Maitre'D did not verify the employee's functions, this server would be able to close checks while punched in as a server. If Maitre'D does verify the employee functions, then the server would have to switch skills to cashier in order to use the cashier functions. Since switching skills appears on the Back-Office reporting, you will be able to control your policy more efficiently.
This module allows you to enter a list of reasons explaining how the employee can receive pay other than the hours the employee worked. Some examples of other paid are vacations, bonuses, back pay and traveling expenses.

Because different geographical locations have different government standards regarding overtime hours, Maitre'D has the capability of customizing the way overtime pay is calculated. This module allows to set several overtime calculations in Time and Attendance. Only one calculation is used per employee file. You have the option to choose a type of overtime when you set up new employee information in the Time and Attendance / File/Employee / Assigned Tasks.
Setup
Description
In this field, enter the name of the type of overtime calculation you are creating. This field can contain a maximum of 20 characters.
Minimum Wage
Enter the minimum wage to be used for overtime calculation. If the employee's hourly wage is lower then this rate, the employee's salary for regular hours will be calculated using the wage defined in the employee's file, but the overtime hours will be calculated using this minimum wage.
NOTE: This field must be set to $ 0.00 in Canada.
California Rule
The state of California, USA, has a very unique formula for calculating overtime pay. If the restaurant is located in the state of California, check this field.
Tip Credit Deduction:
In some geographical locations, the law allows a tip credit deduction to employers when they pay a tipped employee for overtime hours. If this option is enabled, you can calculate the tip credit deduction by subtracting the amount which is the regular rate of pay for the employee from the rate of minimum wage. To calculate the employee's overtime rate of pay, subtract the amount of the tip credit deduction from the minimum wage rate plus overtime. This option is only effective if the employee's hourly wage is lower then the rate entered in the "minimum wage" field. If this option is disabled, the overtime calculation will not be affected. Formula for calculating the amount the employee gets paid for overtime: (Minimum Wage X 1.5) - Tip Credit Deduction = Amount the employee gets paid for Overtime. Example: The minimum wage is $ 4.35 an hour. The server's regular rate of pay is $ 3.01 an hour. The minimum wage for overtime is $ 6.53 an hour ($ 4.35 X 1.5). Here is how you would calculate the amount the employee gets paid for overtime:
$ 4.35 (Minimum Wage) - $ 3.01 (Server's Regular Rate of Pay) = $ 1.34 (Tip Credit Deduction) $ 6.53 (Minimum Wage X 1.5) - $ 1.34 (Tip Credit Deduction) = $ 5.19 (Amount the employee gets paid for Overtime) NOTE: In Canada, this field does not apply, and should always be disabled. Check with the law in your geographical location to see if tip credit deduction is allowed.
Overtime Begin at
1st Level Overtime
Enter the number of hours that the employees can work before receiving a different rate of pay.
Example: If the employee works more than 10 hours per day, or more than 44 hours per week, the employee receives an overtime rate of pay (usually "time and a half" or 1.5 times the regular rate of pay).
Daily Hours
Enter the number of hours that the employee can work in a day before receiving an overtime rate of pay. Using the example above, you would enter "10".

2nd Level Overtime
In some areas, a rate of overtime greater than the regular overtime starts after a certain number of daily or weekly hours. Example: If the employee works more than 14 hours per day, or more than 60 hours per week, the employee receives a special overtime rate of pay (usually "double-time" or 2 times the regular rate of pay).
Daily Hours
Enter the number of hours the employee can work in a day before receiving a special overtime rate of pay. Using the example above, you would enter "14".
