The Start Tab – Deviations to Handle and Today's Staffing

Start is the tab that opens when you enter Staff. It answers two questions: what do I need to handle, and who is working today?

The tab is available with permission to edit schedules or view or edit payroll. The cases and actions shown also depend on your permissions.

Att göra: actions and time deviations

The left side lists time entries from the last 14 days, plus open-shift requests, shift swaps, absence requests and unsigned agreements needing attention. Failed staff notifications also appear in a collapsible row. The counter reflects items in this list. Time deviations are grouped by date with weekday and week number, newest first.

This is an action list, not an activity feed. An entry you have approved, marked as a guest shift or voided disappears automatically. If the list cannot be cleared it stops meaning anything – and then your staff stop caring about the number too.

If everything is in order it simply says: "Inga avvikelser att hantera just nu." (No deviations to handle right now.)

The fourteen-day window is deliberate. Start should show what you can still do something about, not the whole history. If you need to go further back – for a payroll reconciliation, or when an employee questions an old time entry – you do that in Personal ▸ Tider, where you select the earlier period to review.

The three deviation types

A single entry can carry several labels at once.

Clearing a notice

Click the row. You land in Personal ▸ Tider ▸ Rapporterad tid with the right person expanded and the right week showing – no searching required.

There you correct the time, add the missing shift, or approve the entry as it stands. Once approved it disappears from Start.

Dates and times

Date headings use the Swedish time zone. Click a time deviation to open the matching week in Tider. Check the date and shift when following up work across midnight.

Today's shifts

The right side lists today's published or confirmed shifts with the person's name, role colour, station and times, sorted by start time. Shifts with nobody assigned are not shown here – they belong in the schedule view, where you staff them.

A shift in progress gets the label Pågår (In progress). That is based on an open punch – meaning the person actually clocked in and has not clocked out – linked to the shift or to the person, and no older than 20 hours. The clock time alone is not enough: a shift should not look like it is in progress for someone who never showed up, nor look finished while they are still in the kitchen.

If there are no punches in the last 14 days of data, Pågår uses the scheduled times instead. The label then does not confirm that the person has clocked in.

When it says nobody is working today

An unpublished shift does not count, and is therefore not shown in the list. But the emptiness is explained: if there are drafts for today, Start says so plainly, along with a reminder that they need publishing.

The Gå till schema button takes you straight there.

This is a common trap at the start of a week. If you have laid out the shifts but not pressed Publish, neither your staff nor the system knows they apply.

What is not here

Start shows staffing and deviations – not money. Yesterday's sales, labour cost as a share of revenue and other financial metrics live in Analytics++, not in Staff.
