Shift configuration

Set the working-time rules that attendance operations depend on.

Kalzeo keeps shift timing and attendance-related rules together so each shift has a clear operational definition before it is assigned to the workforce.

Shift Timing

Define shift name, code, start time and end time for each working pattern.

Shift Type & Category

Organise configured shifts using supported shift types and categories for clearer administration.

Break Minutes

Store the configured break duration as part of the shift definition used by workforce rules.

Grace Minutes

Configure supported grace minutes within the shift rules used for attendance interpretation.

Half & Full Day Hours

Define the supported hour thresholds used to distinguish half-day and full-day attendance context.

Overtime Threshold

Maintain the supported overtime-after-hours rule as part of the shift configuration.

Shift Definition & Attendance RulesDefine shift timings, break, grace, working-hour and supported overtime rules in one structured setup.
Product proof

Create a clear shift definition before assigning employees to it.

A shift is more than a start and end time. Kalzeo keeps the working-time rules needed by attendance operations within the same shift setup.

Maintain shift name, code, type, category and active/inactive status.
Configure start time, end time, break minutes and grace minutes.
Maintain supported half-day, full-day and overtime-after-hours thresholds.

Shift assignment & roster

Apply shifts at the right workforce level and handle dated exceptions when operations change.

Kalzeo supports shift assignments by site, department or selected employees, with effective dates and permanent or temporary assignment types. The roster workspace then provides day-level control for operational exceptions.

Assign a shift at site, department or employee level.
Use effective-from and optional effective-to dates for controlled assignments.
Mark assignments as permanent or temporary and manage active/inactive status.
Use roster overrides for dated shift changes, weekly-off changes, holidays and supported emergency shift exceptions.
Shift Assignment & RosterApply shifts at the correct workforce scope and manage dated roster exceptions from a structured operational view.
Practical scheduling workflow

Keep standard assignments separate from day-level roster exceptions.

Kalzeo combines reusable shift definitions and effective assignments with a roster workspace for the dates where normal workforce patterns need to change.
