Shift scheduling

Scheduling that gets compared with what actually happened

Shift definitions, the monthly plan and a personal schedule for every employee. Attendance runs on the same record, so the plan and the day can be compared without a spreadsheet.

  • One roster, published to every employee in the app.
  • Compared with attendance, on the same day, for the same person.
  • Cost visible, because coverage, overtime and failures sit together.

What’s included

  • Shift master and monthly planner
  • Personal schedules in the app
  • Plan compared with real attendance
  • Rotations, split and overnight shifts
  • Swaps, templates and bulk assignment
  • Overtime and labour rules

Before and after

What changes with shift scheduling on one record

The day today

  • The roster goes out as an image in a group chat and is never checked against reality
  • Nobody can say whether the site was covered until the client complains
  • A swap is agreed verbally and no one approved it
  • Overtime is a payroll surprise weeks after the shift

The day with Emplitrack

  • Head office, site teams and field crews each get the pattern they need on one roster
  • The plan and the day sit side by side, so the gap is visible while it can be fixed
  • Leave that empties a shift and the cover that fills it both leave a record
  • Every scheduling decision becomes a cost decision you can actually see

Plan meets proof

A plan nobody checks is not a plan

Most shift planning happens in a spreadsheet and is never compared with reality. So the same questions come back every month: was the site covered, who swapped, why is overtime up.

  • Define the shift master with the patterns you actually use
  • Plan the month across employees and locations
  • Every employee sees their own schedule, compared against attendance

Planned and actual for one person on one day, with overtime rules applied.

FAQ

Common questions

Can we run different shift patterns for different branches?
Yes. Location-specific and team-based schedules let each branch run its own pattern.
Can an employee swap a shift with a colleague?
Yes. Shift change requests and swaps carry the same approval and audit record as a leave request.
Does the schedule handle overnight shifts?
Yes. Overnight shifts that cross midnight are part of enterprise scheduling, along with rotations and split shifts.
How does this help with overtime?
Planned shifts and actual attendance sit side by side, and overtime and labour rules calculate entitlement automatically.
