In the event that teachers are absent it is useful to have a Relief roster. Firstly, decide what the maximum workload will be for each teacher, including relief teaching. Begin by assigning a general maximum and then clicking the Clear button. Then amend each teacher's maximum as necessary by clicking on the teacher, changing the maximum, and clicking on Alter. For example, if a teacher's maximum is set equal to workload, that teacher will not be called upon for relief.

To publish a roster click on Show Roster.

On any day when the absentee teachers are known, a schedule showing which relief teachers will be taking which classes when and where, can be printed. Begin by clicking on the Absentees button.

The Absentees screen will be displayed. First select the day of the school week from the drop-down box. Then click on the teachers who are absent, transferring them to the Absentees box. Finally click on the Show Schedule button to obtain the relief schedule.
