Head to Clerks & Attendance > Clerks
Here you can create a new clerk, edit an existing clerk, copy an existing clerk, or delete a clerk.
To create a clerk, click “New”. Unlike creating roles and areas this section is much more detailed.
Clerk Details – This is where the main details are set, user pin code, name, and clerk area
Roles & Wages – Here you can set an hourly wage or their annual salary, this can be used to track staff wages and payroll.
Page Restrictions – When you create a POS Page you have the chance to limit it to certain clerks, for instance, a manager-only screen for Z-reports etc.
Permissions – Lastly this is where you customise the clerk and give each member of staff a completely unique set of permissions, such as void, refund and discount.
Starting with the “Clerk Details” tab we can see many options. Each clerk must have a unique “Pin” and “Employee Number” however multiple Clerks can have the same name.
You can then set a “Default Shift Start/End” time, this is very handy if you plan to create your rota through Newbridge, it will auto-populate your rota based on these hours.
The “Default Screen” will be the first page a “clerk” views once signed on to the till. The most efficient page is usually “Draught” as this is where most drinks are sold from. Lots of places use different screens for individual clerks, for instance, the bar staff view the draughts, whereas the Duty Manager views the manager screen upon signing on.
The “Clerk Area” will set where their hours report to and determine which group they appear under on the rota and attendance page.
This time we are looking at “Roles & Wages”. This page is used to set up wages for hourly staff and set annual salaries as well.
Here you can select “Hourly” or “Salary”, once you have the correct payment method selected enter in their pay rate. In this case for hourly staff, you could enter “£8.91”.
After entering their wage, you can then select their job role, if they perform multiple separate roles for your business you can tick “Role Enabled” on as many roles as you like, as well as adjust the pay rate for each role in the “Pay Rate” column. You will notice there is an “Is Default” at least one of these must be ticked, this will be the default role they are assigned when clocking in through the till, unless they choose otherwise on the day.
You will then see a tab called “Page Restrictions.” Within this section, you will see any page restrictions that you have previously set up on “Till Programming”. If the box is displayed as above with “Off” then they cannot access any page on the POS with these criteria enabled.
Toggling to “On” means the clerk can access these pages on the POS.
