Clocking in the way it should.
Phone, browser, or a shared tablet at the door with a personal PIN. On Premium, staff can only clock in inside the radius you set.
Time tracking
Correct hours before you pay them out.
Time tracking in Shiftbase runs alongside the schedule: your team clocks in from the app, the browser, or a tablet at the door. Breaks, rounding, and surcharges are worked out during the shift, so you approve hours instead of entering them again. Set up in a day, no implementation project.

Why Shiftbase?
Three things a spreadsheet can't do.
Set the break rules once.
Break rules, rounding, and surcharges live in Settings and hold for every shift after that. Nobody works them out by hand again.
Payroll-ready in one click.
Approve the week and export it, by file or straight into your payroll software. No retyping, no second system needed.
Clocking in:quality(80))
See who's in without walking the floor.
Staff clock in and out on their own phone, in the browser, or on a shared tablet at the door with a personal PIN. One screen shows who's in, who's on break, and who hasn't shown up yet.
Break and surcharge rules:quality(80))
No more working out Sunday rates by hand.
Breaks are worked out per department, by shift length or time of day. Set rounding, rate cards, and premiums for a Sunday, a night, or overtime once, and they hold for every shift after that.
Timesheet review:quality(80))
Approve the week, not every separate shift.
Shifts that match the schedule you approve in one go. What's left is the exceptions: a late clock-in, a missing break, a shift nobody worked. Those are the ones worth your Friday.
Schedule to timesheet:quality(80))
Planned and worked, side by side.
Every published shift becomes the baseline for the hours. You see the difference between what you planned and what happened while you can still do something about it.

Basic
Turn the tablet at the door into a punch clock.
Kiosk turns a tablet, laptop, or phone into a shared punch clock. It starts on Basic with one device. Premium and Enterprise run as many as you like. Staff clock in with their own PIN, the hours land on the timesheet, and nobody has to remember what time they started.

About Shiftbase AIFAQ
Got questions?
Everything about time tracking in Shiftbase. If your question isn't here, send us a message.
Yes. On their phone, in the browser, or on a shared tablet with a personal PIN. On Premium you can set clock locations, so a clock-in only counts inside the radius you draw.
The shift shows up as a conflict on the timesheet instead of turning into an estimate. You fix it while people still remember the day.
Yes. Break rules run per department, by shift length or time of day. Basic covers break calculation, rounding, and basic surcharges. Premium adds surcharge rules per contract type, meal registration, and closing a day so nobody can book hours to it.
Yes, but by hand. On Free your team types their hours into the timesheet and you approve them yourself. Free has no clocking in and out, no break rules, no surcharges and no automatic approval - those start on Basic, and advanced surcharges on Premium.
Approved hours leave as a file, or through a payroll connection in the App Center. Nmbrs, Loket, AFAS, Exact Online, SD Worx, and DATEV all read them without you retyping a line. Those connections run on the App Center+ add-on.
Yes, in the app: hours, breaks, overtime, and their balance. Fewer questions land on you at the end of the month.
