Short answer

In Clinizy Care, open Attendance and create your shifts first. Then give each person a weekly pattern in Roster, check and correct each day in Register, and approve or reject requests in Leave Approvals. Use Summary for monthly totals and a CSV file.

Before you start

  • Know your shift timings, such as a morning shift.
  • Add your staff in Staff Management first.

Steps

  1. Open Attendance from the left menu.

    Tip:Everyone, you too, clocks in and out on the My Attendance tab and asks for time off in My Leave.

  2. Open the Shifts tab and press Add shift. Enter a name and the start and end time, then save.

    The Shifts tab on the Attendance page, with two shifts listed and the Add shift button at the top right.
    Step 2 of 6

    Tip:You can also set a grace period and a half-day limit, both in minutes.

  3. Open the Roster tab, choose a staff member, pick a shift for each day and press Save pattern.

    The Roster tab with a staff member chosen and a shift picked for each day of the week, above the Save pattern button.
    Step 3 of 6

    Tip:For one date only, add a one-off override. Clone last week copies last week onto this week.

  4. Open the Register tab and pick a day or month. Press a row to mark or correct that person’s attendance.

    The Register tab for one day: counts of who is in, present, late, on leave, absent and not marked, above each person’s role, shift and status.
    Step 4 of 6

    Tip:The day view counts who is in now, late, on leave, absent or not marked yet. Add a note that gives the reason for any change.

  5. Open the Leave Approvals tab. Press Approve or Reject on each pending request.

    Tip:Set each person’s yearly leave under Leave balances, on the same tab.

  6. Open the Summary tab and choose a month. Press Export CSV to download the table.

If something goes wrong

Why does a person show as Not marked?

They have not clocked in and nobody has marked them. If they were on the roster and never clock in, Clinizy Care marks them absent in the evening. Press their row in Register to correct it.

What happens if I delete a shift?

Days that used the shift become Off on the roster, so give those people a new shift. Clinizy Care asks you to confirm before it deletes the shift.

Can a doctor’s appointment slots follow their clock-in?

Yes. In Staff Management, edit the doctor and choose Weekly hours, only while clocked in. Today’s slots then open when they clock in and close when they clock out.

Can I tell staff why I rejected their leave?

Yes. The reject box has an optional note, and the staff member can see it.
