Customising activities

When a staff member has a session scheduled, they are assigned an activity for that session. This could be childcare, administrative duties, or any other activity. You can add and customise activities in the settings.
  1. In the top right, click on  > Global Settings.
  2. Go to HR > Activities & Pay Types.
  3. Click on the  icon in the top right to add an activity.
  4. Type in the Name of the activity, a Description for it, Payroll Reference, and Colour.
  5. Choose an Activity Type from the drop-down menu. Exclude from Wages% Calculation means this activity isn’t counted in the calculation for the percentage of income designated for wages.
  6. Check the box next to Unpaid if staff members are not paid for this activity, and check Counted In Ratio if staff members are included in staff:child ratios while doing this activity.
  7. Click Save.
  8. Click the  icon to view the activity, the  icon to edit it and the  icon to delete it.
