Common questions

How can I track staff hours and tips without buying a separate time-clock app?

You can do both in one system if your POS handles clock-ins. With Pludor, staff switch in and out on the POS using their PIN, and Team Staff shows hours, wages and tips per person - no separate time-clock app needed. It's included on every store, including the Free plan.

How do I make sure each sale is attributed to the right staff member?

Give each staff member their own POS PIN and have them switch in at the start of a shift. In Pludor, every POS sale is then attributed to the staff member who was clocked in when it was rung up. This makes tip splitting and payouts much easier to work out.

How do I set up staff clock-in with PINs on a POS?

Add each person in Team Staff with their name, email, phone (for 2FA) and role, then give them a POS PIN. They sign in with their own account and use the PIN to switch in on the POS at shift start. When they leave, remove their access in Team Staff.

How much does staff time tracking cost on Pludor?

The Staff Hours, Wages & Tips feature is on for every store, including the Free plan. The first 2 team members are free; additional team members use 200 credits each a month, and 1 credit = 1 cent. New stores also get 500 free credits to start.

How do I record paying out tips or wages to staff?

Open Hours, Wages & Tips in Team Staff to see what each person is owed, then use the Pay Out action to record the payment. In Pludor you can also record tip or wage pay-outs during the End of Day process when you close the register.

What's the best way to reconcile cash and tips at the end of the day?

Run an end-of-day report that breaks down totals by payment type and staff pay-outs. In Pludor, tap End of Day in POS, pick the date, count the cash against the drawer, record staff pay-outs, and print the report for your records.

Is there a free tool to work out hours and pay from start and end times?

Yes - Pludor has a free Timesheet & Hours Calculator where you enter start and end times and get total hours and wages instantly, no account needed. It's handy even if you track time another way. You can find it on the Staff Hours, Wages & Tips page.

Is it safe to let staff use the POS? How do I control access?

Use individual accounts with roles and PINs rather than a shared login. Pludor staff accounts support roles and 2FA via their phone, and each person signs in with their own credentials. When someone leaves, remove their access in Team Staff.

Should I use a separate time-clock app or an all-in-one POS for tracking shifts?

An all-in-one POS is usually simpler because clock-ins, sales and tips stay linked automatically. With a separate app you have to match up timesheets with sales data yourself. Pludor combines both: PIN clock-in on the POS plus a hours, wages and tips report in Team Staff.

What kind of business is staff time tracking with tips useful for?

It's mainly for businesses with shifts and tips, like restaurants and retail. Anywhere multiple staff share a till and you need to know who worked when and who earned which tips. Pludor's version also attributes each sale to the staff member on shift, which helps with tip splitting.
