Record a course someone took elsewhere, or training you gave them in person, so it counts in the matrix, Readiness, the EHO visit page, the audit pack and the rota.

The three kinds of record Paddl keeps, where each one lives, and what a dot or a missing row is telling you.

Unfilled shift alerts

When Paddl tells you a published shift has nobody on it, how the till changes the order, and how the alert clears.

Choose which parts of Paddl your business uses under Settings > Modules, and what happens to the pages, alerts and Ask Paddy when one is off.

Choose what notifies you and how, set quiet hours, and get a message to the whole team.

Why did my rota notification change?

What staff see when you publish, and why Paddl records how much notice each change gave.

The labour cost report

What the rota will cost against what the approved hours cost, by site, person and day, and as a share of sales.

What Ask Paddy can do for you

Ask Paddy can set up routines, book visits, draft paperwork, chase your team and build an audit pack. Here is what to ask for.

Admin Panel vs Mobile App

When to use the admin panel and when to use the app, and how managers move between them.

Finding Your Way Around

The sidebar and its sections, searching for any page, the Settings home, the bar at the bottom of a phone screen, and what the colours of Paddl's messages mean.

Eligibility warnings on the rota

What each warning means, and why Paddl warns you rather than stopping you.

Team & Compliance Oversight (Manager)

See each staff member's compliance, drill into the detail, track visitors on site, and check section status.

Manager Tools on the Mobile App

Where an owner or manager finds the team, records, readiness, sign-offs and quick actions in the app, now that there is no separate manager mode.

Open shifts and swaps in chat

Publish a week and the unfilled shifts land in the site channel as cards staff can claim, and a shift somebody cannot work can be given away from the thread.
