Why shift planning needs its own workflow
A shift calendar is more than a list of dates. Start time, end time, breaks, overnight spans, profile rules, and expected pay all affect the same decision.
WorkShift keeps these details in one shift record so each day can show both the work window and the estimated impact on your pay period.
WorkShift planning flow
- Create a work profile with hourly rate, overtime rules, night multiplier, currency, and default break.
- Save repeated shift patterns as templates.
- Open the monthly calendar, select a day, and review the day agenda.
- Treat overnight shifts clearly and remember that period totals are estimates.
Free and Premium limits
The free plan starts with one active work profile and two templates. Premium unlocks more profiles, unlimited templates, ad-free use, and advanced planning surfaces.
