Manage rotating shifts, compressed weeks, split shifts, and any other pattern your team works. Build schedules weeks in advance, link to leave management, and publish to your whole team instantly.
TimeTally handles shift patterns alongside leave management, TOIL tracking, and timesheets — one system for the whole workforce.

Create shifts with custom start times, end times, and breaks. Build rotating 2-week patterns, compressed 4-day weeks, split shifts, and irregular schedules — then copy and repeat as far in advance as needed. All patterns feed into your rota and are used to calculate accurate leave entitlements for each employee.

The team calendar shows shift patterns alongside annual leave, sick leave, and TOIL. See coverage gaps before they happen — and manage leave requests with the shift pattern in view. Absence records are stored per employee so patterns stay accurate even when staff take unplanned leave.
No cross-referencing between systems — shifts and leave visible together
See where future patterns are understaffed and arrange cover in advance
Export actual hours worked for payroll — aligned to shift patterns

One price. Every feature. No surprises.
TimeTally supports any shift pattern you can define with start times, end times, and break durations. This includes fixed shifts, rotating day/night patterns, compressed 4-day weeks, split shifts, and irregular patterns. Each shift is created individually, so there are no restrictions on what patterns you can build.
Yes. You can build separate rotas for different teams or departments, each with their own shift pattern. Managers can view their own team's pattern or the whole organisation's schedule from the same dashboard.
Yes. The team calendar shows your shift patterns alongside annual leave, sick leave, and TOIL. When a member of staff is booked off on a shift day, the system reflects this — so managers can identify coverage gaps before they happen.
Leave entitlement is based on contracted hours or days in TimeTally. For workers on compressed or unusual shift patterns, you can set the appropriate contracted hours so leave is calculated accurately against their pattern rather than a standard 5-day week.
Currently, TimeTally doesn't have a built-in shift swap feature. Managers can edit the rota to reflect agreed swaps and re-publish. Affected employees are notified of the change automatically.
Yes. You can publish shifts as far in advance as you like. Staff see all upcoming shifts in the TimeTally app, giving them the ability to plan their personal life around their work schedule.
