Required-Attendance Time-

Attendance Periods 
Attendance periods are weekly blocks of time 
that allow time & attendance reports to 'know' 
when users are supposed to be in the facility. 
Schedules for cardholder access must span a larger 
period of time than the applicable attendance period--to 
let people enter the facility before their shift begins, and 
leave after it ends.
