WORKING PATTERNS, NOT GUESSWORK
Create working patterns with working days and break time, then assign them to each employee so contracted hours and deductions are based on the right setup.
CLEAR WEEKLY HOURS AND OVERTIME SIGNALS
See what people worked vs what they were contracted to work, with weekly detail that highlights over and under contracted hours.
ROTATING SCHEDULES MADE SIMPLE
Combine multiple weeks into one rotating working pattern that automatically cycles week-by-week (ideal for “two on, three off” and similar rotations).
SCHEDULING STRATEGY
Start with patterns then schedule shifts.
Set up working patterns for different groups (full-time, part-time, condensed hours), including break time, and assign them to employees. For people without a fixed pattern, schedule them on a rota basis using shifts.
- Create named working patterns with break times
- Assign patterns so hours are anchored correctly
- Use rota-based scheduling for variable hours
Handle rotating weeks. Without rebuilding.
Build multiple weeks into one rotating pattern and let it cycle automatically. This works for common rotations and also for “odd” setups like a nine-day fortnight style arrangement.
- Create different week templates inside a pattern
- Combine weeks into an automatic cycle
- Set effective dates for rotation starts
