Overtime and Break Compliance
Catch overtime risk before the schedule is published
Shiftelix enforces weekly hour caps, rest windows, and shift length rules with pre-checks and audit trails.
Problem
Overtime risk grows when rules live outside scheduling
Manual overtime checks and rest calculations slow teams down and create audit gaps.
- Weekly hour caps are enforced after the fact
- Rest periods are checked manually
- Overrides lack clear approval trails
Solution
Compliance checks built into daily scheduling
Shiftelix applies compliance packs and custom rules before a shift is assigned or swapped.
- Weekly hour thresholds tied to compliance packs
- Minimum rest between shifts and max consecutive hours
- Permissioned overrides with audit-ready reasons
