The Notes tab of the Employee Record lists all Log Entries where the Employee was tagged. Employee Notes can be for a variety of reasons, such as 'No Show', 'Late for Shift', 'Exceptional Service', and more.
- Note: When the New Manager Log is enabled and a Log Entry is created and tied to an Employee who is also a Manager, that Log Entry will be hidden from their view when reviewing this tab.
While the 'Notes' tab is where all records are stored for a specific Employee, Restaurant Managers cannot create an Employee Note on this tab. Rather, they can be created in the Logbook or Daily Sales Summary.
