Re: Hours worked

We've tracked time for a number of years, not meeting the minimum cutoff means the team won't pay for you to attend competitions.

With respect to tracking mentor hours, we do ask our mentors, alums (both student and parent) and parents to login when they are working too. This allows us to demonstrate in real numbers the amount of support the team has beyond the students to our school board, community, sponsors.

Two of our former team members built a custom time clock for us right before kickoff. We had been using a COTS app meant for employees. The new lets users check their own hours from the clock console - so no excuse for "not knowing where they stood" the day before we leave for competition.

It also has a text feature that lets mentors send a "shop open" or "shop closing early" message. My favorite part is when mentors are logged in "shop is open" message is added to the team website and when they clock out it says "shop is closed" so kids and parents can just check the website to see if someone is there before they stop by.
