Signing in, your name, and signing out

A plain-English tour of every button and message on your hours page — what each one is, how to use it, and what happens after you tap it. This is a help page only; nothing here changes your hours.

The one big idea: two separate things

Your hours page tracks two different things that never mix. Flex time is the small over/unders — you stayed 20 minutes late, or left 30 minutes early. It banks up and evens out over time; it does not change your paycheque. Pay hours are your scheduled days minus any unpaid leave — that is what you get paid for. When in doubt: the flex balance is a running tally to keep things fair; your pay is a separate number you confirm before each payroll.

The page is private. It only opens after you sign in, and it only ever shows your own reports — never anyone else’s.

Signing in

• What it is — You sign in with your own staff account — a username and password. On your very first sign-in you’ll be asked to change a temporary password to one only you know.
• How to use it — Open the hours page. If you’re not signed in, it sends you to the sign-in screen automatically, then brings you right back here.
• Watch out — If you “can’t log in,” it’s almost never a locked account — it usually means your staff account hasn’t been set up yet, or you still need to set your own password on first sign-in. Ask the office (Zoe) to set you up rather than looking for a PIN.

The header — logo and ← All tools

• What it is — The little moose logo (top-left) and the ← All tools link both go to the same place: the list of all staff tools.
• What happens — Tapping either one leaves the hours page and opens the tools menu. The header stays pinned to the top as you scroll.

Signed in as {your name}

• What it is — A small line in the header confirming which account you’re signed into.
• Watch out — It’s blank for a moment while the page loads, then fills in with your name. That’s normal — it’s not a sign anything’s wrong.

Log out

• What it is — The rounded Log out button on the right of the header.
• What happens — It ends your session and returns you to the sign-in area. Use it on a shared phone or tablet so the next person can’t see your hours.

🔒 Change my password

• What it is — A link at the very bottom of the page.
• How to use it — Tap it to set a new password on the separate change-password screen. Choose one only you know.
