Details

In the Details section you can enter your company and contact details.

User Access

Under User Access, you can set up a pin which can then be used for locking Droppah to the Time Clock only, so employees can clock in and out without accessing other areas of Droppah. Learn more here: Locking Droppah

After clicking Set up Pin you'll be prompted to enter and then confirm your 4-digit pin.

Rostering

Rostering is available on the Free and The Works plans, and is where you can apply default rostering rules for your company.

Week Starts On - Determines which day of the week your Calendar view begins on. This will be replaced by your nominated Pay Calendar if you use our Xero Payroll Integration.

Maximum Stint Duration - The longest duration of time an employee should be rostered in a single stint (a stint could be a single shift or multiple, depending on how you apply these settings).

Minimum Stint Break Duration - The minimum break period that should occur between two stints.

For example, if this is set to 12 hours Droppah's automatic rostering will avoid rostering an employee onto a new shift if it starts 12 hours or less after their last stint ended. 

Stint Gap Tolerance - How much of a gap can occur between shifts before they are considered separate stints.

For example, if your Stint Gap Tolerance is 2 hours then an employee can be rostered onto multiple shifts back to back, and so long as there is no more than 2 hours between them the shifts will be considered a single stint. Stint gaps are counted in the Maximum Stint Duration, so two 5 hour shifts with a 1 hour gap would be considered an 11 hour stint.

Optimisation Category - Chose which factor should be taken into account when optimising your automatically generated rosters.

The available options are:

• Cost - How affordable the roster is. When Cost is selected, Droppah will attempt to optimise your roster for the lowest labour cost. 
• Experience - How much experience your employees have with their skills. When Experience is selected, Droppah will attempt to utilise employees who have more hours of experince at a particular skill.
• Rating -  How well rated your employees are for their skills. When Rating is selected, Droppah will attempt to roster on employees who have a higher skill rating applied to the skill they're being rostered for.
