  • Your default view is the current day. Use the day picker to select the day you wish to review. If this day is in previous weeks, use the calendar function to select the week.

  • Now select the department using the department selector at the bottom of your screen. 
  • Here you will see a full breakdown of all shifts rostered for the day. The rostered hours will appear within the bubble across from the employee's name. 
  • You have two options to create a new shift within this view, either by using an "Clock Unlinked Punch" if the employee has already clocked in or in the top corner of your screen with "Add Shift". 

Clock Unlinked Punch 

  • If there is no exisiting shift available for this employee to link to their clock in punch, you will need to "Create a Shift" for the unlinked punch. This can often be the case if an employee has been called in for cover or additional support and a shift was never created in the roster for them.
