Owner / Operator

"If an employee works over 6 hours, they get a 30 minute break. They also get 10 minute paid breaks after certain hours as well. 7shifts allows us to define that and track it. That for me, is the greatest feature."

Create schedules with 2 weeks' notice. Publish new schedules in minutes and notify employees via SMS text, push notification, or email.

Employees can voluntarily offer up shifts or accept extra shifts from coworkers with managerial approval.

Add flexibility to the schedule. Your team can submit time-off and availability requests directly through the app. Managers can approve, deny, and manage requests on-the-go.

Schedule in custom and mandatory breaks to any shift. Notifications remind your team to take them.

Making last-minute changes to the schedule? Get alerted and have the associated exception cost added to your labor exception report automatically.

Automatically detect split shift punches when employees punch in with 7shifts. And have the associated "split shift premium" fed directly into the labor exception report.

Accurately track labor law compliance. 7punches prompts employees clocking out to confirm whether they took their required meal and rest breaks. Or if they waived them.

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.

Keep records of all scheduled shifts, punch data, and account activity for three years and beyond.

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.

Managers will receive alerts of any right to rest exceptions in the schedule and be notified of the associated fee.
