Add Personnel

So, you've purchased the Attendance package ("T&A" for short) and want to start loading all your personnel onto the system. This is the correct place to start!

Step 1: Navigate
Navigate to the page for adding personnel to your company.

Open the "Attendance" menu and click "Personnel". This is where you can see all your staff and their details.

Click the "Add personnel" button and start filling in their details.

Step 2: Enter Details
Complete the employee's details, including ID number, PSIRA number (if applicable), and their role (e.g. Security Guard). The personnel category is important for calculating overtime hours. For example, a Security Guard typically works a 12 hour shift, while an Administrator works 8 hours. Yes, you can change these hours to suit your business. We'll show you how in another tutorial!

Step 3: Tags
In the "Attendance" tab you will see an NFC Tag code. The employee's attendance tag will be coded with this value. To clock in and out, an employee will tap their tag against an OG-66 device.

Click "Save" to finish.

Step 5: Test
To test, simply take a tag and tap it against one of your OG-66 devices. The device will read aloud the employee's name and confirm whether they are clocked in or out.
