When to use society staff attendance
Mark attendance on Plinth when informal tracking is no longer enough for operations or governance.
Daily guard and security roll call
Mark present or absent each morning for every guard and security supervisor. If an incident occurs overnight, the committee can confirm who was on duty from the audited record instead of reconstructing from the gate notebook.
Shift in / out at the gate
For societies with rotating shifts, mark in when a guard or technician starts and out when they leave. Pair with helpdesk tickets assigned to on-duty staff so residents' complaints reach someone actually present.
Housekeeping and facility headcount
After agency changes or festive deep-clean schedules, mark housekeeping managers and field staff present so the facility manager and committee know coverage matched the roster.
Before AGM or audit questions
Treasurers and secretaries often face "how many staff were we paying for?" Pull attendance history (admin view) before the meeting instead of scrambling for paper registers.
After roster changes
When you add or deactivate staff on Staff & vendors, start marking attendance the same day so helpdesk assignment and daily presence stay aligned.
