Employee Shift Scheduling Software

A shift schedule is just a suggestion until something enforces it. FieldTrace enforces yours—at every punch-in, every punch-out, and every overtime hour.

Four Controls That Power Our
Employee Shift Scheduling Software

Shift Rules & Punch Buffers

Most shift scheduling software only tells people when to show up. FieldTrace decides what happens when they don't—with four buffers that govern every punch-in and punch-out.

Set shift name, branch, start and end time, plus full-day and half-day working hours
Early Punch-In — block clock-ins before the shift window opens
Late Punch-In — allow a grace window, then flag every late arrival in Reports
Early Punch-Out — allow early exits, but flag each one in Reports
Late Punch-Out — auto punch-out anyone who forgets to clock out when overtime is off
Color-code every shift so your calendar reads at a glance

Overtime & Auto Punch-Out

Overtime is where payroll quietly leaks. FieldTrace records every genuine extra hour—and keeps checking, hour by hour, that someone is still actually working.

Allow or block overtime, shift by shift
Overtime off — no work outside the shift window, with auto punch-out at the cutoff
Overtime on — time past the shift end is recorded as overtime until punch-out
An hourly "Are you still working?" push notification from the shift schedule app confirms the work is real
No reply after a final 15-minute check? The system punches the user out
Leaving the geofence, turning off location, or closing or uninstalling the app can trigger a punch-out

Shift Calendar & Shift Changes

Your roster shouldn't live in a WhatsApp group. With FieldTrace's shift roster software, see every employee's shift for the week on one calendar—and change it without the phone calls.

The Shift Calendar shows every employee's shift and week-offs, day by day
Assign people in bulk by branch, department, and shift
Reassign anyone by clicking their shift and picking a new one
A change window blocks last-minute reassignments right before a shift starts
Employees request changes from My Shift while admins approve or reject with a comment
Every update reflects in the shift table instantly

Shift Rotation

Rotating shifts by hand turns into a weekly argument. Map it once—Morning to Evening, Evening to Night, Night to Morning—and it runs itself.

Rotate shifts daily, weekly, or monthly between a start and end date
The Shift Map pre-fills every FROM shift at the branch—you just pick the TO
Select individual users or everyone at once
See the next switch date for every rotation
Keep every employee moving fairly across every shift, automatically

The Real Payoff Of
Employee Shift Scheduling Software

Tidier attendance is the least of it. For field teams, employee scheduling software proves its worth in healthier margins, higher output, lower attrition, safer crews, and cleaner audits.

Overtime by Design

Keep overtime for the shifts that need it—and only while crews are actually working. At double wages, that precision protects margins.

No Gaps in Customer Coverage

Spot unstaffed shifts and branches before the day starts—not after a customer calls asking where your team is.

Field Teams That Stay

Predictable rosters, fair rotations, and a say in shift changes give your best field staff fewer reasons to leave.

Scale Without Extra Supervisors

Add branches, teams, and shifts without adding coordinators. Every new shift carries its rules from day one.

Audit-Ready Under the Labour Codes

Every shift, punch, overtime hour, and approval stays on record.

Frequently Asked
Questions

Find answers to common questions about FieldTrace's shift management software, including punch buffers, overtime tracking, shift changes, rotations, and automatic punch-outs.

Why use shift roster software instead of Excel sheets or WhatsApp groups?

A spreadsheet shows who should be on which shift, but it can't stop an early punch-in, flag a late one, or close a forgotten punch-out. FieldTrace connects the roster to every punch with rules applied automatically at clock-in and clock-out, employee requests go through approval, and rotations run on their own.
