Adding an employee to the scheduling System is fairly straightforward. To add an employee, click Employees in the left hand module menu, and then add / edit Employees.

From there, we will click + Add User in the upper right hand corner of your screen.

The required fields are noted with a red asterix (*).

Note: The employee ID is an optional field. Use the employee ID to track employees via a company specific ID #, for example. The Secondary email is an option second email address that can be used redundantly with the primary email address on file.

Once you are finished with the first tab 'Employee Details', click the next tab, 'Contact Info'.

The second tab provides the contact information for the employee. The Primary Phone # is the main phone number the employee would like to be contacted on. Organizations can elect to have a secondary number for an additional monthly fee. This allows the system to contact a secondary number in the event the employee is not reached on the primary number. For employees and organizations who has setup Alpha Paging in their system options, a Pager ID # is also available. The format for the pager ID# should be 7 digits in length, ie: 5555555, omitting the area code.

The Pin is a unique 4 digit pin number set by the employee. This is used when calling into the toll-free number. By entering the employee ID# and pin# the employee can hear all available shifts open to them. The default pin # is 0000.

The CallBack Contact Method is the method chosen by the employee for how they want to be contacted for CallBack opportunities on their primary number. The CallBack Contact Method for secondary number is how they want to receive CallBack opportunities on the fallback / secondary number, if enabled.

The Alerts Contact Method is the method chosen by the employee for how they want to be contacted for Alert Notifications on their primary number. The Alerts Contact Method  for secondary number is how they want to receive Alert notifications on their fallback / secondary number, if enabled.

Do Not Disturb is a feature available for an employee to set a time that they do not want to be contacted for CallBack shifts. By setting the do not disturb time; if a CallBack tries to notify them during that time, they will automatically be skipped over. In this case, the CallBack history log will indicate a 'skipped' notation.

Send Callback E-mails check or uncheck this box to have the employee receives emails every time a CallBack shift opportunity is offered to them.

CallBack List(s): The position / title(s) that are assigned to this employee.  i.e. Firefighter, Engineer, Battalion Chief, Sergeant, Officer, Paramedic, EMT

Ignore max. consecutive hours setting: If checked, this employee can work past the max consecutive hour setting indicated in the system options.

Date of Hire / Promotion: The date of hire / promotion for this employee. This setting is often used with certain Organizations ranking rules to give CallBack shifts to employee who have been employee longest, first. If your organization does not use a customized seniority based ranking system for CallBack shift offerings, this is just a simple way of tracking the employees date of hire / promotion.

When finished entering the information for the employee, click the green Save button:
