Notecard Settings
In Control Below are sample notecard settings. The setting behaves similar to the dropdown menu. Reloading the notecard will override any settings you have made with the menu.
range=land
email=test@email.com
login notify=true
logout notify=true
daily bank=500
start time=6:25
stop time=20:01
make payments=false
weekdays allowed=mtwhfsu
To set the allowed weekdays use the key below. If the letter corresponding to the weekday is in the string, the day is allowed. To block a day remove the corresponding letter from the string
m=Monday t=Tuesday w=Wednesday h=Thursday f=Friday s=Saturday u=Sunday
Employee=Governor Linden;60;120
Would allow Governor Linden to be an employee, being paid at 60L$/hr, for a total of 2 hrs a day, at which time he would have earned the maximum 120L$.
Manager=TaraLi Jie;60;120
Would do the same thing, and allow TaraLi to earn money, and gain access to the managers menu.

awesome!
Getting it and taking a look at the menu for the first time can be a big daunting with all the options, but with a little bit of patience you soon see how easy the layout really is and how much thought was put into it, its very useful and does exactly what i wanted it to do, and im sure ill find more uses for it yet, love that its copy too! great product, awesome customer service 5 stars
this does not work at all
non of my employee can log in, I filed a ticket, no answer, and then when I logged in, I was told why not, this items server, dont have contact with the internet, so actually you a buying nothing. and dont exspect to get any answer on from there customer service - creators like this should be banned from selling ever again on the markets place!!!! I only gave it 1 star becurse I had to
Non existent Customer Service
I bought this for my club and had trouble with some employees not being able to log in so I contacted the creator via her instructions to submit a ticket- which I did, was instructed to send a copy of the config card- which I did - and 3 days later still waiting for an answer. Weather this is the fault on her end or a problem on my end- It would be nice to hear some feedback and be able to use the product I payed for. I don't recommend this based on the poor customer support and the fact that I can not get it to work for all of my staff.
It Just DOES NOT Work
Hi I never thought it will not work. I tried messaging, sending notecard to the developor But seems she is busy in rl !! No response..
It does not login the employee although it scans !
As long as it is not sorted it is a useless prim to me ! Hope i get a message back from creator or I will have to think of buying something else.
Easy to use 10-28-10
The only thing I wish this did was let you know when an employee clocks in. I like the feature allowing the employees to be paid when they clock out, but knowing when someone shows up for work would be nice.
Update. It took a lot of effort to get a response from Sarah but we all have RL issues and I appreciate that. Anyway, as long as you set the bonus to 0, it works just fine, which is how I wanted it to work anyway. Employees work time, they get paid for that time. Review changed from 1 star (product didn't work) to 5 stars despite the bonus thing. I can't mark that down since it's of no interest to me as a feature.
---
At present it's not working properly. It keeps paying a L$5 bonus every 30 minutes to staff even when they're not in the sim and logged out.
NC'd the creator as requested (I wish people would just take IM's to email).
When it's fixed i'll gladly change the review and rating.
