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
- Open Manage -> Features.
- Enable Workforce.
- Open Manage -> Workforce.
- Enable Tips at clock-out if tips must be recorded with shifts.
- Enable Roster if future shifts should be planned in Posnic.
- Confirm staff users exist under Manage -> Employees or Users.
- 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.
Plan a Roster
- Open the Roster subtab.
- Set From and To dates.
- Click Show to review the range.
- Choose staff in Plan a shift.
- Select date, start time and end time.
- Click Add.
- Use two entries for split shifts on the same day.
- Tell staff to check their own schedule from the clock button.
