Step 4 of 29 · Your first day
Staff
Staff lists each person with what needs attention, their site and position, their status, whether they are cleared, and their progress.
Watch out: Read "Needs attention" in the morning: it flags an expired first aid certificate, which s. 58(2) asks of anyone counted in the ratio. The flag is KeepCount's own rule, not the regulation's.
More about this
Each person's policies, quizzes, training and screening dates. Enter a vulnerable sector check or first aid date once; KeepCount works out the renewal and reminds the person, and you, before it lapses.
"Needs attention" is the column to read in the morning: an expired first aid certificate, a document due, a policy never confirmed. "Cleared" says whether the person may work with children and be counted in the ratio, from their verified documents. Sort by any heading; search by name; the chips count the statuses. "Add staff member" and "Invite a list" add people; a person's own row opens their record.
Your centre's words for people and its policies may differ; the screens are the same. The screen is from KeepCount 0.99.162, captured October 29, 2026 in a demonstration organization: everyone in it is fictional. Section numbers are O. Reg. 137/15 (General) under the Child Care and Early Years Act, 2014, read on e-Laws on October 20, 2026. This explains how KeepCount works; it is not legal advice, and the Ministry's program advisors decide compliance.
