The register that grants the make-up
In most groups the register is a sheet of paper nobody reads again. In Setvos it is where a lesson is counted: the pack goes down, the teacher’s pay counts heads, and an excused absence keeps the lesson.
Three marks
At each lesson the teacher marks every child present, no-show or excused, on the phone or at the desk. Present and no-show use one lesson of the child’s pack, as a seat held for them would; excused uses nothing. A mark changed later gives the lesson back, so the pack always says what the register says.
Excused, and a make-up
When a parent told you in time, mark the child excused, and the pack keeps that lesson. If your rule owes the child a lesson on top, tick the make-up as you save: one more lesson goes on the child’s pack, once per absence, with the reason kept. A place paid by a monthly fee has no pack to credit, and the register says so rather than pretending.
The register is not paperwork after the lesson. It is where the lesson is counted.
Close it, and the teacher is paid
Save and close marks the lesson done. A teacher paid per child is paid for everyone in a closed register except the excused, so pay follows the register rather than a count from memory at the end of the month.
- Present or no-show: one lesson used.
- Excused: nothing used, and a make-up if you give one.
- Closed: the lesson is done, and per-child pay counts it.
What the parent sees
The parent sees the pack’s balance in their account at setvos.com, and an excused lesson shows on their side as cancelled. There is no argument about how many lessons are left, because there is only one number.
Two things to know: the till does not check out a group lesson — the register is how it is counted — and a make-up is given lesson by lesson, never as a rule that runs by itself.
