For the person in charge
You run the shift. Hand it off clean.
It is 2:05 pm, the owner left at one, and the walk-in report is still open. See who is on and what is open. At close, pass it to the next person on their list.

The plain answer
Is person in charge
a job title in the app?
No. It is a flag on a person, not a role.
The app has four roles: Owner, Admin, Manager and Staff. Person in charge is marked on top of one of them.
A manager or owner taps Put in charge
next to a name on the On-shift list. A Lead invite is a staff member who is already marked.
You keep your staff tabs. Your Today adds a card that says you are in charge.
In Nevada law, the person in charge shows the inspector they know food safety, and a manager certificate is one way (NAC 446.052). In Clark County, SNHD requires the person in charge to be a certified food protection manager, except in low-risk and temporary places. Ask your manager who holds that certificate on your shift.

Someone cannot work
What if someone
can't work?
The list says No food work today
. It never says the symptom. In Nevada, the person in charge tells the health authority within 24 hours (NAC 446.056). That covers a worker with jaundice, or a diagnosed Salmonella, Shigella, E. coli (STEC), hepatitis A or norovirus. The rule is one tap away, so a short-staffed day is a plain outcome, not an argument.
Employee health: report, exclude, restrict
The FDA Food Code (model) says: Food workers report vomiting, diarrhea, jaundice, sore throat with fever, pus-filled sores, Big 6 diagnoses and exposures; the person in charge excludes or restricts. Here the law differs: the person in charge tells the health authority within 24 hours (NAC 446.056(1)(c)); no sore throat with fever and no exclusion or restriction for exposure (NAC 446.056).
Nevada: NAC 446.056(1)(c), NAC 446.057

Tonight
So what is
different tonight?
Handed off. Go home.
The open list goes with the hand-off. Where the app cannot reach, it says so and tells you to tell them in person.
You can also nudge someone whose 3 pm sanitizer strip is late. Nag writes the message. You copy it and send it.

Questions
Before you
start.
Is person in charge a role in the app?
No. It is a flag on a person. The roles are Owner, Admin, Manager and Staff. A manager or owner can put someone in charge.
Do I need a manager certificate to be in charge in Nevada?
Nevada law says the person in charge shows the inspector they know food safety, and a food protection manager certificate is one way (NAC 446.052). In Clark County, SNHD requires the person in charge to be a certified food protection manager, except in low-risk and temporary places. In Washoe County, Risk Level III places keep a certified manager as the person in charge during cooking, cooling and reheating. Ask your manager how your place handles it.
A worker tells me she has hepatitis A. Who do I call?
She stays off food. In Nevada, the person in charge tells the health authority within 24 hours (NAC 446.056). In Clark County that is the Southern Nevada Health District, (702) 759-0588, or (702) 759-1000 after hours; in Washoe County, Northern Nevada Public Health, 775.328.2434. Tell your manager or owner too.
Do I get blamed for what the morning shift missed?
No. Each reading carries the name of the person who took it. The hand-off counts what was still open when you took over, with the note. What you did on your shift is yours; what was open before is on the record as open.
Will the next person get a text when I hand off?
No text. The hand-off goes on their list, and they see it when they open the app. In a browser, it can reach them as an alert once they say yes when the app asks. Tell them in person too.
What if nothing is open?
The screen says: Nothing to hand off. A clean close.
Can I see who is not cleared to work?
Yes. The list says Ready, Needs check-in or No food work today. It never says why.
Can I send a nudge to someone who is late?
Yes. A person in charge can use Nag, which writes the message. You copy it and send it yourself. The app sends no texts.
How does someone become a Lead?
A manager invites them as a Lead. They stay staff and are marked person in charge.
Your binder is ready when the inspector is.
