Allocating supervisor allowances

Fusion allows for staff to be allocated a supervisor allowance at the Point of Sale. This is particularly useful in schools that don’t have a supervisor rota, as it alleviates the need for the staff to be allocated a supervisor allowance through the Back Office client.

There are two ways to allocate a supervisor allowance at the PoS; the “Classic” method, and the “Prompt” method.

“Classic” Method

The classic method requires the PoS operator to manually assign a supervisor allowance after the staff member notifies them of their status as a supervisor.

1. Open the staff member’s account, then click the functions button located in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.

2. Press the “One Time Supervisor” button on the newly opened functions bar.

3. Select yes to complete the allocation of the supervisor allowance.

!If the PoS operator lacks the permission to assign a supervisor allowance a user with this permission will be required to enter their login details to confirm the allocation.

“Prompt” Method

The prompt method presents the PoS operator with the option to allocate a supervisor allowance when an eligible account is opened at the PoS. The prompt will only be displayed during periods in which a supervisor allowance can be used, e.g. a lunch service.

1. Simply press yes when presented with the supervisor allowance prompt and the allowance will be allocated.

!The prompt method must be enabled in the school settings in the Fusion Back Office client. This can be found under the Transactions tab on the school settings page.
