Resident: Register Helpers & Mark Attendance

Resident: register helpers and mark attendance

Before you start

• You are signed in and have claimed your flat in the society
• Your society is on the Community tier (includes Household help)

Register a household helper

1. Open Household help (/household-help).
2. Tap Add helper.
3. Select kind: maid, cook, driver, nanny, milkman, laundry, gardener, plumber, electrician, carpenter, pest control, or other.
4. Enter full name (required).
5. Optionally add phone, flat label (e.g. "B-402"), and notes.
6. Save — schedule is inferred: daily for regular helpers; occasional for trades (plumber, electrician, carpenter, pest control). Edit later if needed.

You can edit, deactivate, or remove helpers you registered. Other residents cannot change your entries.

Mark today's attendance

1. On Household help, locate the helper in today's section.
2. Tap one action:
   • Inside (in) — helper is on premises / in your flat
   • Out (out) — helper has left for the day
   • Didn't come (absent) — scheduled helper did not report
3. Plinth calls mark_household_helper_attendance and updates the board.

Correct a mark the same day

Tap a different state for the same helper. Today's row updates; the change is audit-logged.

One mark per helper per day

The system stores one attendance record per helper per calendar date. You cannot leave two conflicting rows for the same person on the same day.

When to use inside / out vs didn't come
