Frequently asked questions
about shift schedules.

How much rest do employees need between shifts?

In the UK, the Working Time Regulations give most adult workers at least 11 hours of rest between working days and 24 hours off each week, or 48 hours every two weeks. In the US there is no federal rule for adults, although some states and cities have their own scheduling laws.

How far in advance should I share the schedule?

It depends on where you are and on each contract. Some US states and cities, such as Oregon, Seattle and Chicago, require certain large employers in sectors like retail and food service to post schedules 14 days in advance. Even where it is not required, a week or two of notice helps people plan.

Does a shift schedule count as a record of hours worked?

No. The schedule is the plan. In the US, employers must keep records of the hours non-exempt employees actually work each day and each week, and in the UK records that show the 48-hour limit is respected. That record comes from clocking in and out, not from the schedule.

How is this different from CheckInGO?

This tool plans shifts. CheckInGO records when each person actually clocks in and out, works out overtime and gives you reports you can export.

The schedule is the plan.
CheckInGO is the record.

The schedule tells you who works when. CheckInGO confirms they actually clocked in, at what time and from where. Simple and automatic.
