Create Your First Shift

Set up working hours, clock-in rules, and clock-in locations as the foundation for attendance management.

Before employees can clock in, FLEXPEO needs to know when they start and finish work. That's what a Shift is.

Step 1: Open the shift settings

  1. Go to settings: after signing in, open Attendance > Shift (/checkWork/scheduling/schedulingSetting).
  2. Add a shift: click the Add Shift button in the top right.

Step 2: Set the working hours

  1. Fill in the basics:
    • Shift name: something easy to recognise (e.g. "Standard Office Hours" or "Morning Shift A").
    • Shift colour: pick a colour (e.g. blue). It shows on the employee's mobile calendar so they can spot it at a glance.
  2. Set the times (key step):
    • Start time: when employees should clock in (e.g. 09:00).
    • End time: when they should clock out (e.g. 18:00).
  3. Set clock-in rules (optional):
    • You can set a late buffer (e.g. clocking in after 09:05 counts as late).
    • If the employee clocks in past a certain time, the system marks it as a missed clock-in.
    • Note: fields marked * are required.

Step 3: Set the clock-in location (optional)

If you want to limit clock-ins to the office:

  1. Add a clock-in location:
    • Below the shift settings, set the clock-in location.
    • Choose the clock-in method shown by the system, such as GPS or GPS with photo.
    • Set the work location and permitted range according to your company policy.
  2. Save: click Save — your first shift is ready.

Friction-Killer tip: If your company runs a standard 9-to-6 with no shifts, this single shift is all you need. If you have rotating shifts, repeat the steps above to set up morning, mid, and night shifts.
