Staff Profile

Admin > Personnel > Staff

1. Absences

Staff absences can only be added and edited by those members of staff with HR access. Staff absences are then available to view as a report in Reporting > Reports > Staff Absences.

To add a new absence click on the cog wheel in the toolbar.

Choose the date range, the absence category and the contract to which the absence applies to, then select Insert.

If your first day of absence and last day of absence is on the same day a time period option will display, allowing you to choose an AM or PM session, or alternatively both.

This absence will then be inserted into the main staff attendance table found in Admin > Personnel > Manage Staff Attendance's.

If your period of absence crosses over with a holiday the sessions column will indicate how many sessions we taken during term time and how many sessions were taken out of term time.

2. Contract Info 

        

Staff contracts are stored in the staff profile. Only staff members with the HR role can view or edit other staff member's contract information.

A member of staff may have more than one contract therefore you are able to scroll down to see all of the contracts on their profile and edit each individually. 

Click on the cog to edit the data and select the appropriate descriptor from the drop downs or fill the remaining areas as needed.  You will also see a record of any Spine Point changes made. 

To add a new contract select the cog next to the contract info heading. 

The fields highlighted in red are important for the census.  

You can give the contract a unique name to make it easier to identify. If the new contract is similar to an existing one then you can use the Clone Contract drop down.  

This will auto populate the new contract with information from the selected contract.  

You can then amend fields as required before pressing Insert to save the contract.

Only a contract name and start date need to be completed before the basic contract will populate the database.

You are also able to calculate a staff members annual salary automatically. 

To do this you need to populate the contract with the following information:

• Hours per week
• FTE Hours
• Spine Point 
• Working Weeks per year 

The calculation will also assume that:

• A full working year is made up of 52.149 weeks 

The calculation then looks to see if the member of staff is either support or non-support staff as this will effect how the basic salary is calculated.

Non-Support Staff:  This uses the Spine point salary x hours per week/ FTE hours.  An example is shown below.

You can change the contract type if required and the calculated actual salary can be changed before you Accept.

Support Staff:  This calculation takes into account the number of weeks worked per year to account for any part time support staff.  Again an example is shown below.

Again, you can change the contract type if required and the calculated actual salary can be changed before you Accept.

Please Note: This information is used as part of the Workforce Census.
