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

How it works

Build schedules with guardrails

  1. Apply compliance packs or configure custom policies.
  2. Schedule shifts and run pre-checks before publishing.
  3. Resolve conflicts with approved overrides when required.
  4. Review audit logs and compliance insights in analytics.
