Time tracking

Secure clock-ins, breaks, and clock-outs with Shyfter’s mobile app. Staff can register working hours from a tablet or smartphone. Shyfter’s digital time clock, via Shyfter Staff and Shyfter POS, records each employee’s attendance, ensuring accurate tracking of their working time.

Work schedules

Youth hostel teams work around the clock. From housekeeping to reception staff, every employee gets clear visibility of their schedule thanks to Shyfter’s intuitive interface. Managers simply set working hours, breaks, and leave periods, then share schedules with staff in one click.

Leave management

With Shyfter Staff, employees can request leave directly from their phone or tablet. Managers review and approve requests via the management interface, keeping control while empowering employees to manage their own leave.

Absence management

In case of illness or personal emergency, employees notify absences directly in Shyfter and upload supporting documents like medical certificates via the app.

Overtime tracking

Overtime for permanent staff, seasonal workers, or temporary hires can be difficult to track. Shyfter automatically calculates overtime based on contractual hours and actual time worked, simplifying this process.
