Rules checked as you plan.
Assign a ruleset to a contract type once. Every shift after that is checked against it, and a breach shows up in the schedule while you can still fix it. Compliance+ does this part.
Compliance
Catch the breach while you can still move the shift.
Compliance+ checks every shift against working hours law and your collective agreement as you build the schedule. Rest periods, daily maximums, paid breaks: flagged before you publish, not after an employee or an inspector finds them.

Why Shiftbase?
Compliance you don't have to check by hand.
Records that hold up.
Break rules, surcharges, and closed days give you time records you can export in one click, with the day locked against edits.
Data handled properly.
ISO/IEC 27001 certified, GDPR-compliant, on EU servers, with encryption, MFA, and permission groups as standard.
Compliance+
Assign the ruleset once, then plan.
Set a ruleset per contract type: the Dutch Working Hours Act, the hospitality or retail collective agreement, the German Arbeitszeitgesetz. Shiftbase checks each shift against it and shows the planner what broke, in the schedule, before anyone is told to work it.
What gets flagged
Rest periods, maximums, and the breaks people are owed.
Exceeded daily hours, too little rest between shifts, a missing paid break, a constraint from the collective agreement. The planner sees it while the schedule is still a draft, which is the only moment it is cheap to fix.
Built-in rules
Breaks and premiums that apply themselves.
Break rules run per department, by shift length or time of day. Night, Sunday, and public-holiday premiums and overtime thresholds sit in rate cards, so the timesheet reaches payroll already calculated instead of argued about.
Proof
The records an inspection asks for.
Clock locations put a place and a time on every clock-in. Closing a day locks the record against edits. Time records export in one click, and statutory and non-statutory leave stay split with their own accruals and expiry.
Security
Your people's data, handled properly.
Wage data, contracts, and IDs are the sensitive kind. Shiftbase is ISO/IEC 27001 certified, runs on EU servers under a Data Processing Agreement per Article 28, and covers encryption, MFA, permission groups, backups, and a penetration test report on request.
