Human Resource Data
PlanIt can store human resource data that is important to your organization. This gives you one place to keep and access information. |

Supervisors
Employees can be marked as supervisors and assigned employees within the system. This allows your supervisors access to more notifications and functionality pertaining to only those employees in which they are a direct supervisor to. |

Walls
A wall is a simple communication medium for employees, supervisors, and schedulers. Each wall has different access levels as to who can see the wall. Currently we offer an organization wall intended for the entire organization, a supervisor's wall for supervisors only, a scheduler's wall for schedulers only, a platoon wall for each member of each platoon, and individual employee walls for administrators to track positive/negative incidents and call offs related to the selected employee. |
