Evaluating and signing off individual shifts for payroll

To evaluate and sign off a shift for payroll:

• Go to Signoff > Awaiting signoff
  
• Within the Shifts tab you have two choices for viewing the shifts to be signed off
  
  • Stacked view
    • Shifts are grouped by Campaign > Location > Date
  • Unstacked view
    • Shifts are in one list by date with the newest date first
• Click on Evaluate
  
• The following dialogue that will appear is split into 3 columns; Before, During and After
  

Each shift in the system:

• Can be evaluated here if you want to make a special note or log something against that shift using the Before and During columns and the Notes text field
  • If you don't need to add any evaluation notes and simply wish to give a thumbs up, etc, then we recommend that you signoff in bulk as this is a faster process. See: Signing off shifts in bulk
• Needs to be signed off so that it can be sent to payroll to be paid.
  • Note that you can bypass payroll. See below.

Before (Attendance and Punctuality)

• This is to evaluate the staff's Attendance and Punctuality
  • These options can be customised in settings. See Shift evaluation/removal from shift
  • The Late option will ask for more details. See: Running late

During (Performance during the activity)

• This is to evaluate the staff's Performance during the activity
  • These options can be amended in settings. See Shift evaluation/removal from shift

When evaluating the staff in the Before and During column it will ask whether it was Acceptable or Unacceptable.

For example, being late might be acceptable if the trains are legitimately delayed. If you select:

• Acceptable - a green dot will appear next to that option:
  
• Unacceptable - a red dot will appear next to that option:
  
  and the shift as a whole will be automatically be marked as a thumbs down (you can manually override):
  

After (Signoffs and adjustments to payroll)

• This column is for Signoffs and adjustments to payroll. You can:
  • Assign the performance of the shift a thumbs up or thumbs down (or neutral)
    
    • This builds up the staff reputation tally within the system. For example:
      
      This person's reputation shows he has done:
      • 255 shifts in total
      • 184 shifts were satisfactory with a thumbs-up
