The roster changes — and everyone knows the same evening

Each shift is created once with a long name and a short name, a start time, a tolerance and a colour. After that you spread it across the monthly grid — over several days or several people. The colour is what identifies the shift later in the grid and on the printed plan.

Yes, through the shift pattern under Time tracking → Shift planning → Assignments. Each employee has a weekly grid there from Monday to Sunday plus a column of its own for public holidays; the cycle runs over up to twelve weeks and then repeats. „Automatisch vorbelegen“ (pre-fill automatically) turns it into the monthly plan, optionally for one to three months, and shows in a preview beforehand what will be set and where it does not fit.

Through a message to those affected or to everyone. It appears in the app and, if you wish, also arrives as an email through your own mail server. Marked important, it opens as a window the next time the app starts and closes only on acknowledgement. In the overview you see who has read it.

Yes. The mobile app has a tile showing their own shifts: per day the shift, with its time from–to where a planned end is set, and below that „Geplant in diesem Monat“ (planned this month) with the total of their own planned hours. For the notice board there is also the monthly grid as a landscape PDF with a colour key, in three cuts: the grid alone, the grid with staffing levels, or the cover alone without names.

Yes, as soon as your shifts carry a planned end (a planned break is optional). Every name then shows „geplant / Ziel“ (planned / target) — the hours rostered in the month beside the target from the working time model, or beside the monthly goal where days are chosen freely. Leave and sickness already credited are taken into account, and the planning shows what is still to be rostered. It is planning alone: what counts is still what is clocked.

Through their own working time models. Each person gets their daily target, their break rule and their premiums; all of them sit in the same plan and are still calculated separately. Casual staff without fixed hours can be set up in two ways: with the „Alle gearbeiteten Stunden zählen“ (all hours worked count) model every recorded hour counts, there is no leave, and sickness can be entered as a record. With a model that has a target per weekday of 0:00 and an absence value on the usual working days, leave and sickness on those days credit the value entered. Whether and to what extent casual staff receive leave and sick pay is for your payroll office to settle.

Yes. Premiums from the catalogue can be attached directly to a shift, such as a late premium from 20:00 to 22:00. They apply on every day with that shift, on top of the premiums of the working time model and on public holidays too. Instead of a percentage, a fixed amount per shift is possible as well, say €20.00: the reports show it as „5 × 20,00 € = 100,00 €“, the payroll summary with count and total. This flat-rate allowance does not go into the DATEV file; your payroll office transfers it from the payroll summary.

Absences are drawn graphically across the days and appear in the same picture as the duties. Requests run digitally via the line manager, so that the plan and the absence match.

2.90 € per employee and month plus VAT, with no minimum term and cancellable monthly. Shift planning, leave management, staff messages, the mobile app and the DATEV export are included.
