Shifts & rosters

This page shows you how to run shifts in Zinye HR — and how, once they’re set up, attendance can be worked out automatically.

How shifts work

Section titled “How shifts work”

Shifts follow a simple chain:

  1. Shift Type — define a shift’s hours and rules (for example Morning, 9–5), including the working window and grace times.
  2. Shift Assignment — assign that shift to employees for a date range.
  3. Shift Request — let an employee request a different shift, which their manager approves.
  4. Check-ins — employees check in/out (each stamped with the time).
  5. Auto-attendance — with it enabled, Zinye HR turns those check-ins into attendance automatically, against the assigned shift.

Rosters

Section titled “Rosters”

For teams whose shifts change week to week, a roster lets you plan and assign shifts across people and days in one view — so everyone knows when they’re working and attendance still flows automatically.

Overtime

Section titled “Overtime”

Hours worked beyond a shift can be captured as overtime, ready to feed into payroll where you pay for it.
