SlidesClockOpening shifts and handovers
Schedules carry the actual opening and closing times per weekday, with grace periods that reflect how the store really runs. Staff see their next shift without asking.
Retail
Store opens on time, and the record says so.
Retail attendance is about the first shift of the day and the handover at the end of it. A shared terminal by the stockroom door is a queue; a phone is not.
Several stores, one company
Each store is a workplace with its own location and policy. Attendance across stores reviews together, so a district manager is not reconciling separate books.
