Do staff need to check-out of a shift to be paid?

Within Staffwise there are two different types of shifts you can add to a schedule:

• Fixed shifts
  • Fixed shifts have a set date, start time and end time. Staff can check-in to a fixed shift when they arrive at the shift location, and check-out before they leave.
  • A check-out of a fixed shift is for accountability to ensure staff did not leave early. Therefore failure to check-out of a fixed shift is unnecessary for staff to be paid.
• Open shifts
  • Open shifts allow you to create shifts that don't have a set start and finish time. The shifts are created in the system only when the staff clock-in and clock-out. The payroll for these shifts is calculated based upon the staff clock-in and clock-out times. By default, staff must be at the shift location in order to clock-in and clock-out.
  • A clock-out of an open shifts creates the shift for payment, therefore failure to clock-out of a open shift would result in that shift not being sent for approval.
