What do the colored flags on the schedule mean?
Question:
I see some shifts on the schedule that have colored flags. What do these flags indicate?
Answer:
The colored flags on the schedule represent Shift Flags. These flags are added manually to shifts or automatically based on employee time clock activity. They highlight specific attendance issues:
- Sick: Indicates an employee was marked as sick for their shift.
- Late: Indicates an employee arrived late for their shift.
- No-Show: Indicates an employee did not show up for their scheduled shift.
- Called Off: Indicates Manager calls an employee off early — flags the shift instead of deleting it.
- Called In: Indicates employee called in last minute — shift is flagged "Called In" for full visibility in reporting.
- Custom: Indicates a personalized flag created by your business to track unique attendance reasons.
Each flag has a different color, making it easy to identify at a glance. Shift Flags help managers identify potential employee engagement issues.
