What Workforce Controls

Workforce is the staff time surface. The feature switch enables the clock workflow; the Workforce page manages tips and roster options and links to labour review.

  • Staff clock in and out from the header clock when shifts are enabled.
  • Tips at clock-out lets staff declare cash tips against the shift.
  • Roster lets managers plan future shifts.
  • Labour / Payout reports compare worked hours and payroll data.
  • Users and roles still decide who can manage staff records.

Enable Workforce

  1. Open Manage -> Features.
  2. Enable Workforce.
  3. Open Manage -> Workforce.
  4. Enable Tips at clock-out if tips must be recorded with shifts.
  5. Enable Roster if future shifts should be planned in Posnic.
  6. Confirm staff users exist under Manage -> Employees or Users.
  7. Ask one staff account to clock in and verify On shift right now.

Use the General Tab

The General tab shows staff currently on shift and today's hours. It is a manager check, not a replacement for staff clocking in and out correctly.

  • Use Refresh when a cashier says they have clocked in but the row is stale.
  • Use Labour / Payout for the detailed report.
  • Use Users to edit staff wage or staff-card data.
  • Use Features to turn Workforce, tips or roster behavior on/off.
  • Investigate missing staff by checking login, clock action and branch.
