Creating and editing your staff schedule

If you have lost or deleted these messages your staff will need to use the "Forgot password" link on the login page. The "Forgot password" link will reset and email them their new password.

Text and email alerts
One text message is 137 characters in length so if the message you're sending is longer than 137 characters, we need to split it up and charge you for each single message sent, though they appear to your staff as just one message. Each 137 characters sent requires 1 message credit.
Reports, budgets and forecasts
If you're tracking staff costs or generating payroll reports you may find the need to deduct unpaid breaks from staff shifts. Rather than splitting the shift into two parts, you an simply add a break item beneath the shift. A break item is just a comment in the format "1 hour break" or "30 minutes break". It can be any amount of time you like, eg. "1.5 hours break" or "90 minutes break".
Break items can also be used in combination with
overtime rates. So if you've already added a
overtime rate beneath your shift, you're free to place the break item above or beneath the overtime rate.
Printing and exporting
Internet Explorer by default only prints black and white and will need to be configured to enable colour printing. You can do this by following the below steps:
To enable colour printing, open the "Tools" menu, click "Internet Options" and select the "Advanced" tab. Under "Printing", find and switch on "Print background colors and images".
Alternatively, using Microsoft Excel provides another excellent printing option as it allows you additional options such as "Fit to page", which will prevent your duty schedules from being split over multiple pages when printing.
Time off management
Sick days can be tracked easily by adding them as time off with a type of "Sick leave". When sick leave is added this way, the time off report can tally the amount of sick days taken per staff member. Each employee's sick day allowances can be set on their staff profile.
