Questions from the Session

Question	Answer
Is there a way I can record evidence of having tried to find cover for discretionary hours directly on discover roster or somewhere else?	There isn't an official feature for this, but you could use a combination of notes on the Roster, and notes/upload documentation in the Notes tab in the Staff profile.
What percentage do you maintain over the 4 month to achieve 100 percent funding rates? Does it has to be a perfect 100 or is there any levy like for 80 % band?	We strongly recommend maintaining a perfect 100%. Use your Centre Funding Report to ensure you are on track for this. The table at the very bottom of the report will allow you to view the total number of Registered and Unregistered hours across the funding period at a glance.
If we have opted into Full Pay parity for the March to June period, did that need to be from 1 March, or does it have to go back to 1 February?	Opting in to a new tier of Pay Parity should be done at the beginning of a new Funding Period - in this case, February 1st.
Can you please advise what physical paperwork is required to be filed and stored for each RS7 band	Nothing for RS7, as Discover holds all this information electronically, but there was some discussion of EAV in the chat at the time this question was asked, so to clarify, if you are not using Electronic Attendance Verification, you will need to retain hard copies of parent/guardian signatures of your weekly attendance verification.
If parents every day manually sign a sign in sheet writing down the time they drop off and pick up their child, do we still need to get them to sign a different weekly confirmation attendance sheet?	Yes (but only if someone other than the parent/guardian has signed the child in/out during the week), you can find the print out for this sheet in Reports > Children Reports > Attendance. Set the filters to reflect one week at a time and ensure you have the signature field selected.
