Repeating shifts and templates
Set a shift to repeat daily, weekly or biweekly with an end date; edit one occurrence or the whole series. Save the rotation as a template and copy it forward without retyping.

Shift scheduling and time tracking for manufacturing
Manufacturing runs on repeating rotations, mandatory breaks and overtime that has to be calculated correctly. Build the rotation once with repeating shifts, clock in at the line on a kiosk, and see hours and cost by position and by shift before the period closes.
What gets in the way
Where the week falls apart
Rotations rebuilt every month
A four-week rotation is retyped into a spreadsheet each cycle, and one typo puts two people on the same machine.
Break compliance on paper
Rest and meal breaks are recorded on a sign-in sheet that does not match the punches.
Labour cost by line arrives at month end
Hours by position and by shift are extracted from payroll after the fact, too late to adjust staffing.
How Shift Terminal fits
Shift Terminal for manufacturing
Kiosk at the line
A locked tablet with employee PINs handles shift changes in seconds, with photo verification if you want it. Punches queue offline and the screen stays awake.
Breaks, daily overtime and double time
Paid rest breaks and unpaid meal breaks follow the rules you set, employees can clock their own breaks, and the timesheet report prints the policy. Daily, weekly and double-time overtime follow your province’s preset.
Hours and cost by position
Hours by Position, Labor Cost and the Breaks report show where the hours went. Schedule them to arrive by e-mail every week, or run them on demand.

FAQ
Questions from teams in manufacturing
Can supervisors see wages?
Only if you turn it on. Supervisor wage visibility is a single organization-wide switch, off by default.
Can we cap weekly hours?
Yes. Set a maximum weekly hours per person; shifts that would exceed it cannot be accepted, and overtime alerts warn managers as people approach the threshold.
Which payroll formats do you export?
Ceridian/Dayforce, ADP Canada, ADP, Gusto, QuickBooks, Standard and Generic CSV, plus a direct sync of time activities to QuickBooks Online.
