Time tolerance in RosterElf determines the acceptable period employees can clock in or out without providing a reason for early or late attendance. It doesn't restrict clocking in or out but prompts employees to justify significant deviations from scheduled times. This guide explains how time tolerance works and how it ensures accurate attendance tracking.
