Quick answer

The most common Shift work questions are format, quality, permissions, batch failures and privacy. Shift work needs shift/handover/overnight tracking to avoid missing hours.

Why it matters

Checking these high-frequency issues solves most cases.

Overnight shifts count actual duration.

Step by step

  1. Confirm company/local rules for hours, breaks and overtime.
  2. Record start/end and break minutes daily; don't reconstruct the week later.
  3. Total by week and check duplicates/missing/overnight shifts.
  4. Confirm the overtime threshold (e.g. 40 h/week) before calculating.
  5. Export CSV/screenshot before submitting and keep approval records.

Common mistakes

  • Forgetting breaks, inflating hours.
  • Counting an overnight shift only on the start day and losing hours.
  • Treating 8 h/day as the overtime threshold.
  • Submitting without a copy, leaving no evidence in a pay dispute.

Checklist

  • Daily records, not weekend reconstruction.
  • Breaks/overnight/night shifts handled correctly.
  • Weekly total and OT threshold confirmed.
  • Rate/multiplier/rounding rules confirmed.
  • CSV exported/approval records kept.

Key facts

  • Overnight shifts count actual duration.
  • Whether handover is paid depends on rules.
