Timetable Daily: Irish Schools Cover Types

Modified on Thu, 14 Aug at 12:59 AM

Timetable Daily has been customised to meet the needs of Irish Schools. This includes the renaming of some standard cover types, the introduction of some new cover types and customisation of relevant reports.

Cover Types

In Daily > Home, when covering classes, standard cover types have been renamed, and new cover types have been added. These function as follows:

Cover Type	Irish Schools Terminology	Functionality
Extra	S&S (S)	Teachers selected from the Available tab will be credited with an S&S cover
In lieu	Windfall (W)	Teachers selected from the Had Cancel Today tab will receive a Windfall cover.
Underload	Underload (U)	Teachers selected from the Underload tab will receive an Underload cover
Personal (new)	Personal (P)	Available teachers selected from any tab when the Personal checkbox is ticked will receive a Personal cover. This cover has no credit.
Paid (new)	Paid ($)	Available teachers selected from any tab when the Paid checkbox is ticked will receive a Paid cover. This cover has credit but will not count towards a teacher's S&S tally. The new Paid Covers report will detail each teacher's Paid covers tally for a selected date range.

Paid Cover

A new cover type called Paid cover has been introduced to account for covers that are given under the paid cover entitlement.

To assign a Paid cover to a teacher, the 'Paid' checkbox must be selected in the Alternatives screen for the class requiring cover.

Once the box has been checked, a teacher selected to cover the class will be credited with a Paid cover.

Paid cover will be displayed for the selected teacher in the following places:

on the Daily Bulletin provided that 'Show cover credit' is selected before generating the bulletin
on the teachers 2 week covers summary in the alternatives panel with a $ symbol

on the Statistics report in the Number Paid and Paid Credit columns
on the Covers Summary report with the $ symbol
On the new Paid Covers report. See below.

Paid Covers Report

The new Paid Covers report, which can be filtered by teacher name, will give the following information over the selected date range:

The Paid covers (minutes) column displays the total time in minutes of Paid cover the teacher has done over the selected date range.

The Number Paid column displays the total number of periods of paid cover the teacher has done over the selected date range.

The Paid Credit column displays the total number of credits applied to the periods of Paid cover the teacher has done over the selected date range.
