Employee Attendance Posting

For the District Administrator:

Before posting staff attendance records, the administrative steps below should be done. Call or email Edgear Support for assistance in these steps (support@edgear.com or 800.509.7070).

1. Permission Configuration: In User Management, the District Coordinator needs RW permissions for the category of Staff. Next, in Staff, a RW Program permission is to be assigned for Post Transactions. Finally, an Action permission of Insert/Update/Delete for Set District Defaults is given to this user. This will allow the District Coordinator to control District Default settings for the staff attendance program.
2. Set District Defaults: The District Coordinator in charge of staff attendance needs to set the District Defaults, which in turn will be pushed out to the other users. In the Employee Attendance Posting program, click Action, then District Defaults to set items such as Vendor, default attendance code, pay periods, hour/week limitations and ignoring staff hour limitations.

• Hrs/Week Sub Limit - Exclude any substitutes from the pick list that has worked more than the designated number of hours.
• Ignore Staff - Ignore the hour limits set in the 'Hours/Week Sub List' for the substitute(s) chosen.
