Once shifts have been added to reflect the home’s duty rotas, staff numbers can be entered via the ‘Edit Unit’ view, accessed via ‘Home Units’ from the menu then clicking on the pencil icon for the unit being edited;
Enter the number of staff of each grade in the appropriate shift boxes. If a member of staff works across units, e.g. a registered nurse working equally across two units would be entered as 0.5 in the RN box for the appropriate shift for both units. Other divisions of an individual member of staff’s time are possible in increments of 0.1 (i.e. 10% of their time). Note in the example above there is a carer working across two units on night duty.
Note that the ‘Delete’ button is greyed out. This is because to delete a unit, first all of the residents have to be allocated to a different unit, and all the staff figures have to be at zero.
