Shifts

Set the hours once, not every week.

A shift carries its start, its end, its break, and its night hours, so you stop typing the same times again.

One shift, three places it lands

You define it once.

The schedule

When you create a schedule, choose the shift and its times fill in. You can still change them for that one schedule.

Attendance

The shift is what a clock-in is measured against, so late and early are not a matter of opinion.

Payroll

Hours inside the shift are regular. Hours past it are overtime, and night hours carry their own premium.

Where you use it

Create a schedule, tick everyone it applies to, and pick the shift. The start, the end, the break, and the night hours arrive already filled in.

The rules live on the shift, not in your head.

Set how long the break runs. Break time is tracked apart from work hours, so it does not quietly become paid time.

Night hours run from 10 PM until 6 AM unless you set a different window on the shift.

Mark which weekdays are off. Every schedule made from the shift starts with those days already set.

Opening, closing, or graveyard. Give each one a name your staff already use.

Questions owners ask when they set these up.

Give it a name, a start time, an end time, and a break. It is then ready to assign to anyone on the schedule.

Yes. A shift is assigned per person, per day. One person opens while another closes.

No. A schedule keeps the times it was made with, so pay you already ran does not move. New schedules use the new times.

Hours that fall inside the night window are counted apart from the rest, and payroll adds the night premium to them.

Shifts hand their rules to these, every day.

Run one cutoff in Timekeep and compare it against the sheet you keep now. If the numbers do not match, you have lost nothing.
