How the desk runs

One platform, from the rota to the weekly pay run.

  • Set the pattern once

    A store needs four colleagues for a bank holiday weekend. Nights, alternate weeks, particular days to a month end — set the pattern once and the run is created rather than entered shift by shift.

  • Work the whole run together

    A big order arrives as a run of shifts, not one booking. Work all of them together, with filled, working and open counters moving as the desk covers them.

  • Break and fatigue rules applied

    The fatigue, break, recent-hours and duration checks you have configured sit alongside the booking, so a colleague is not rota'd into a pattern that breaks them.

  • Today, across every store

    Timeline puts the day's shifts across all stores in one view. What decides whether the contract is kept is whether the colleague is inducted and on the floor at opening, and the gaps are visible before a manager has to ring.

  • Hours in, week paid

    PAYE with AWR and holiday pay, run weekly from approved hours, built from the hours actually worked once the store has approved them.

  • Cover and fill-rate

    Dashman shows fill-rate by store, cover by shift and where the week is short.

Checks and clearances

On the record before anyone is placed

Right-to-work documents and store inductions are confirmed against the worker before a booking is committed, with expiry alerts and an automated chase when something is missing.

Questions

Shift Retail recruitment software questions.

Can it handle repeating rota patterns?

Set the pattern once — nights, alternate weeks, particular days to a month end — and the run of shifts is created from it rather than entered one at a time.

Are break and fatigue rules enforced?

The fatigue, break, recent-hours and duration checks you configure sit alongside the booking, so the desk sees the conflict before a colleague is committed to it.

How are a run of shifts filled quickly?

Bulk shift copy and the Booking Desk work a whole run together, with filled, working and open counters moving as the desk fills them.

Does approved time feed payroll directly?

Approved hours build the weekly pay queue and carry into invoicing in the same run, rather than being re-keyed into a separate payroll system.

What checks does a retail placement need?

Right-to-work documents and store inductions are confirmed against the worker before a booking is committed, with expiry alerts and an automated chase when something is missing. The desk holds right-to-work documents with expiry alerts, store inductions recorded against the placement, AWR position visible at the point of booking, configured fatigue, break and recent-hours checks.
