Shifts and late marks

Shifts that mark late, half day and overtime for you.

Set each shift’s hours once. StaffBee marks late arrivals, half days and overtime by your rules, lets people punch out for lunch and back in, and closes a forgotten punch-out at shift end.

Owner dashboard: 18 of 21 staff came in today, with counts for in, late, on leave and absent.

Counting late minutes and half days by hand is where most salary arguments start.

How it works

Three steps, set up once.

  1. 1

    Add your shifts

    Day, night or split: set the hours and the weekly offs, then give each person their shift.

  2. 2

    Set your rules

    Late after 15 minutes, half day after 2 hours, and overtime if you pay it. Or turn the rules off and count presence only.

  3. 3

    Let StaffBee mark the day

    Each punch is marked by your rules. Forgot to punch out? A reminder comes, then the day closes at shift end for you to review.

Why you can trust it

The rules behind it.

Your thresholds

Late, half day and absent cut-offs are yours to set, in minutes.

Hours-worked rule, if you want it

Count a day as half or absent when someone leaves too early. Off until you turn it on.

Auto punch-out at shift end

A forgotten punch-out is closed at the shift’s end time, never later, and flagged for review.

Timezone-correct

Night shifts and month ends are counted in your business’s own time.

Questions

Can staff punch out for lunch?

Yes. Choose how many punch-ins a day you allow, from one to six. The default of three covers lunch and a tea break.

Do you pay overtime automatically?

StaffBee can record overtime when someone stays past the shift by your minimum. Turn it on in the attendance rules.

Set your shifts once, then stop counting minutes.
