How to Set Maximum Clock-In Time for Flexible Hours Work Schedules
Flexible work schedules are becoming increasingly popular, offering employees freedom while maintaining productivity. This guide explains how to set a maximum clock-in time to ensure balance and accountability for flexible-hour employees.
