Track hours worked across different shift patterns with our flexible timesheet system. Under the Working Time Regulations 1998, UK employers must ensure night workers average no more than 8 hours per 24-hour period and provide at least 11 hours of rest between shifts. TimeTally helps you monitor hours worked, track night shifts, record shift premiums, and maintain WTR compliance records for shift workers.
Tracking hours for shift workers is complex with premium rates, night shifts, and WTR compliance. UK regulations require a minimum 20-minute rest break after 6 hours of work and 24 hours of uninterrupted rest per week. Accurate timesheet records are essential.
Shifts spanning midnight cause timesheet errors. Need clear records showing which day hours were worked for accurate payroll and WTR compliance
Important context about what happened during a shift gets lost. No space on paper timesheets to record shift-specific notes or issues
Night shift premiums, unsocial hours, weekend and bank holiday rates — manual calculations are slow and error-prone, risking National Minimum Wage underpayment and HMRC penalties
Difficult to track if shift workers are exceeding the 48-hour weekly average. Manual spreadsheets can't flag WTR breaches automatically
Can't see shift worker overtime patterns at a glance. Need clear reports showing regular vs overtime hours for accurate payroll
Shift workers take multiple breaks throughout long shifts. Paper timesheets make it hard to track all break periods accurately
