Recording Staff Attendance

Recording Staff Attendance


Once you have scheduled shifts for your staff members in Abacus, you are able to keep a record of their attendance, absence and sickness.

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



  2.  Select a staff member from the list:



  3.  Click on a shift in the grid: 



  4.  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

  5.  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.

  6.  Click on the 'Yes' button. 
  7.  Click on the 'Save' button.
