Frequently asked questions
What is the format of a staff attendance register?
Rows are staff members and columns are the dates of the month, with a status code in each cell and totals at the end: present, absent, leave, half day and paid days. This tool follows the same format and can be printed for the school file.
How are half days and late marks counted?
A half day counts as 0.5 paid and 0.5 unpaid. Late marks count as present; if you set a late rule of 3, every 3 late marks cut half a day.
Can I mark a holiday for all staff at once?
Yes. Tap the date in the header row to toggle a holiday for everyone. Tap again to remove it.
Where is the attendance stored?
In your browser on this device, separately for each month. Export a CSV at month end as a backup. A free FastFee account keeps it synced across devices.
Is this tool free? Do I need to sign up?
Yes, it is completely free with no login and no limit on entries. Signing up for a free FastFee account is optional and adds sync across devices, team access, automatic reminders and online payment collection.
Where is my data stored?
Only in your browser on this device (local storage). Nothing is uploaded to FastFee. Clearing browser data deletes it, so export a CSV or PDF backup regularly.
