This is useful for those that rely on a printed schedule to see why a certain associate is off or if the store is closed at a glance instead of having to log on and using the program. Sometimes it is easier to just look at a posted schedule. Also, it prevents managers from changing a schedule without the knowledge of an associate and expecting them to check their app or schedule online.Also, there are still some people that are not all that computer savvy and have a hard time with programs and would need a printed schedule.
