The compliance tools you need
to empower your team
Flexible scheduling
7shifts’ drag-and-drop schedule builder makes it simple to schedule shifts in accordance with the law. Get ultimate visibility into each employee’s shifts and use sales and weather forecasts to build the most efficient schedules.
Overtime alerts
While scheduling, managers will receive alerts of any overtime they’ve built into the schedule. Additionally, managers receive a notification when an on-duty employee is about to go into overtime.
Electronic schedule publishing
Easily publish new schedules to employees via SMS text, push notification, or email with 2 weeks’ notice. Employees can view their shifts directly on their mobile device.
Shift swapping
Employees can voluntarily offer up shifts or accept extra shifts from coworkers with managerial approval.
Time-off and availability requests
Schedules are infinitely flexible for your staff with time-off and availability requests submitted directly through the app. Managers can approve, deny, and manage requests on-the-go.
Scheduled break management
Schedule custom and mandatory breaks in any shift and get notifications to remind employees to take them.
Schedule change alerts
When making any last-minute changes to published schedules, you’ll receive an alert and the associated exception cost will be added to your labor exception report.
Split shift detection
Split shift punches are detected automatically when an employee punches in with 7shifts, and the associated “split shift premium” is fed directly into the labor exception report.
Built-in attestation
When an employee clocks out using 7punches, they’ll be asked if they took their required meal and rest breaks or waived them, so you can accurately track your labor law compliance.
Spread of hours and clopen alerts
Get alerts when scheduling employees for a split shift that exceeds 10 hours, and when scheduling staff for “clopens” with less than 11 hours rest between shifts.
Maintain compliance records
Keep records of all scheduled shifts, punch data, and account activity for three years and beyond.
Generate labor exception reports
Easily access automated labor exception reports with type and fee amount of each exception. With the added visibility, you’ll stay more compliant with local laws.
Right to Rest Alerts
Managers will receive alerts of any Right to Rest exceptions in the schedule and be notified of the associated fee.
Language support
7shifts is currently available in English, Spanish, and French. Simply select your preferred language, and all text in the 7shifts web app will be displayed in this language.
