Build the schedule from shifts you define once
A shift template captures everything about a shift in one place: a name like "Morning," a short abbreviation, its start and end time, the break, and light and dark colors so it reads cleanly on any screen.
Each template also carries a paid or unpaid flag. Once it exists, you drop it onto the week instead of retyping hours, so every Morning shift looks and counts the same everywhere it appears.
Build the schedule from shifts you define once
Why hand-built schedules drift
The same shift, typed five ways
When every cell is filled in by hand, "06:00–14:00" and "6am to 2" end up meaning the same shift but reading differently, and totals stop matching.
Breaks left to memory
A break that lives only in the planner's head is a break that gets forgotten, so paid hours quietly creep up shift after shift.
Nothing to reuse
Without saved shifts, next week starts from a blank grid again, and the rules you applied last time have to be rebuilt from scratch.
From one definition to a full week
Set a shift up once, then place it as often as you need.
Name the shift
Create a template with a clear name and a short abbreviation so it fits neatly inside a cell on the busiest week.
Set hours and break
Add the start and end time and the break length so worked hours are calculated the same way every time the shift is used.
Choose colors and paid flag
Pick light and dark colors so the shift stands out on the grid, and mark it paid or unpaid to control how it counts.
Drop it onto the week
Place the template on any member and day, and repeat it across the week without retyping a single time.
Everything a shift needs in one template
Clear name and abbreviation
A full name for menus and a short code for the grid keep schedules readable even when the week is packed.
Start and end times
Fixed hours travel with the template, so the same shift always spans the same window wherever it lands.
Built-in break
Each template carries its own break, so paid time reflects the actual hours worked rather than the hours on the clock.
Light and dark colors
Two color values keep shifts legible in either theme and make patterns easy to scan at a glance.
Paid or unpaid flag
Mark a shift as paid or unpaid once and that choice applies every time the template is placed.
Reuse across weeks
Templates live beyond a single week, so the shifts you rely on are always one click away.
Frequently asked questions
Can I create as many shift types as I need?
Yes. Define a template for each distinct shift your team runs, from early mornings to split evenings, and reuse them as often as you like.
Does the break affect paid hours?
Yes. The break length on a template is subtracted when worked hours are calculated, so the figures reflect time actually worked.
What does the paid or unpaid flag do?
It marks whether a shift counts as paid time. Setting it on the template means every placement of that shift inherits the same treatment.
Can I change a template after using it?
Yes. You can update a shift type's name, hours, break or colors so future schedules stay consistent with how you work now.
