Schedule
A week on my shift board.
I build the weekly schedule in Humanity, fitting each student's shifts around their classes. This is an illustration, not real data: hover or tap a shift, or shuffle the week.

Discipline
How the points system works.
Students earn points for call-offs, missed shifts and conduct issues. I track them and issue the matching step. Try it with an example student.
0 points. In good standing.
Illustrative points and thresholds for this demo. A conduct issue covers things like ignoring a supervisor's direction. Each step comes with documentation, and Step 3 starts the termination paperwork.
Duties
Six jobs in one.
Teamwork
I'm the bridge.
