How to use it

What this workbook does

This workbook runs a no-fault attendance point system for a small dental practice and adds the piece a practice feels most sharply: when one person is out, a chair or the front desk goes uncovered and patients feel it the same day. Set your point values, rolling window, and discipline thresholds once on the Point Policy tab, log each occurrence, and the tracker prices it, ages it off, and rolls every person up to their active points and current stage. The three planning tabs map who covers each chair and desk, set the time off and swap rules, and give you a same-day call-out runbook. It is the one-time alternative to renting monthly HR help: buy it once, set it up in an afternoon, and the practice runs it.

Your first 15 minutesOpen the Dental Attendance, Time Off, and Coverage System workbook in Microsoft Excel or a free equivalent such as LibreOffice. The first tab, Start Here, walks you through every tab. Work left to right through the tabs. Set your policy on Point Policy, log occurrences on the Attendance Log, and read the Employee Summary to see who needs attention. Edit only the amber cells; the white cells calculate for you.
