Scheduling with Compliance

Compliant scheduling is crucial for adhering to labor regulations. With 7shifts, you can easily spot and track scheduling conflicts, overtime, and labor exceptions using filter warnings. Additionally, age indicators help scheduling managers identify underage employees.

In this article, you'll discover the visual cues on the Schedule page that will help you stay compliant with local labor laws.

Compliance Warnings

Spot and track conflicts, overtime, unassigned shifts, and labor exceptions on the fly by clicking the filter warnings:

The filter will then isolate those warnings so you can make adjustments as needed.

If there are any alerts or labor warnings associated with a shift, these will be highlighted for you. You can hover your mouse over the icon beside the shift to learn more:

Age Indicators

Employees under the age of 16 or 18 will now have an indicator next to their name, allowing scheduling Managers to easily identify if the employee they're scheduling is underage and ensures you stay labor compliant with local labor laws.

The age of the employees is calculated on the day they are being scheduled and is calculated based on their date of birth entered within their employee profile.

The indicator is visible on both the web and the mobile app:
