To record staff attendance, do the following:
- Click on the Staff button and select 'Schedule Shifts':

- Select a staff member from the list:

- Click on a shift in the grid:

- Select if the staff member attended their shift, or if they were absent or sick. The colour of the bar in the grid will change to match your selection:
Attended this shift = blue
Sick for this shift = red
Absent for this shift = black
- If you select 'Sick for this shift' an alert will be displayed:

Select the start and end time of the sickness - this is useful if the staff member only missed part of their shift.
Select if the staff member qualified for a sick day.
