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.
