Shift Management

Rosters for teams that do not work nine to five.

Build rotating, split and night shifts across sites, publish them to the mobile app, and have the resulting overtime and night allowances flow straight into payroll.

The problem

Rotating and night rosters are planned in a spreadsheet, sent out by WhatsApp, and the allowances they generate are worked out separately afterwards.

What it costs

Coverage gaps are found after the shift is missed, swaps happen informally with no record, and night and overtime allowances are recalculated by hand every cycle — which is where the pay disputes come from.

How HRZyra handles it

Rosters built and published in the system, with the overtime and night allowances they imply flowing into payroll as a consequence of the roster rather than a separate calculation.

What changes

The roster that was worked is the roster that gets paid, and gaps are visible while there is still time to fill them.

Core capabilities

  • Rotating, split, night and flexible shift patterns
  • Roster publishing to the employee mobile app with change notifications
  • Shift swap and cover requests with approval
  • Automatic night-shift and overtime allowance calculation
  • Coverage view by site, so gaps are visible before the week starts

How it works

The sequence a team actually follows, month to month.

  1. 1

    Build the roster

    Rotating, split, night and flexible patterns assigned across sites.

  2. 2

    Check coverage

    Gaps visible by site before the week starts, not after.

  3. 3

    Publish

    Rosters pushed to the employee mobile app, with notifications on change.

  4. 4

    Handle changes

    Swap and cover requests approved in the system; allowances follow automatically.

What changes for the business

Allowances stop being manual

Night and overtime pay derives from the roster that was actually worked.

Coverage gaps are visible

Seen while there is still time to fill them.

Changes reach people

Roster changes arrive in the app rather than a message thread.

Shift Management — common questions

Can attendance come from different sources at different sites?

Yes. A plant can run biometric devices, field staff can use the geo-fenced mobile app and a head office can punch on web or a kiosk — all of it lands in the same attendance record that leave and payroll read from.

How are night-shift and overtime allowances calculated?

They derive from the roster that was actually worked. Rotating, split and night patterns are built and published in the system, and the resulting allowances flow into the payroll run rather than being worked out separately.

Can rosters cover round-the-clock duty with relief and handover?

Yes. Rotating, night and on-call patterns are built and published to the mobile app, with swap and cover requests approved on the record — and night duty allowance following whoever actually worked the shift.

Is overtime calculated at the statutory rate from the shift roster?

Yes. Hours beyond the standard shift compute at the applicable rate from the roster actually worked, so overtime and shift allowance are a consequence of the roster rather than a separate month-end calculation.
