What do my employees see when they login?
Employees see a completely different area when they login, accessible via a smart phone app or web browser. The best way to view this is by adding yourself as an employee user, then following the Employee guide. Employees NEVER see the pay rates of others. What they can see is largely down to their Employee Permission setup.
What does ‘publishing’ a schedule mean?
When you publish a schedule, you are indicating to the system it is ready to ‘pin on the wall’. Depending on your settings, publishing a_schedule will send all of your employee an SMS and/or email of their shifts for acknowledgement.
Following the publishing of a_schedule, and depending on permissions, employee will be able to access, drop, swap and fill-in on shifts. Any changes a manager makes to a published schedule will give the option to notify all employee affected.
Do I have to install anything?
No. Ento is a web based application that you access via the same Internet browser you are reading this from. This also means you can work on your schedule anywhere and anytime you have an Internet connection! Aspects of Ento, such as the employee area and Time Clock, can also be run through iPhone and Android apps.
When does the system first contact new employees?
If you have Ento's 'Welcome Message' turned on, your employee will receive a message with a 'Set a password' link at the same time as their first action notification. The first contact your employees will have by the system is usually when you publish your first schedule. They can therefore use the link in the welcome email to set a password, and then login to check their shifts as outlined in that notification.
If you turn off the welcome message, you may choose to let your employee know about the system in a customised way before you finish your first schedule, using the Core HR > Communication > Send message page of your account.

Can the system interpret (insert employment contract here)?
