Fingera expands its portfolio with an entirely new feature — a shift planning calendar. This tool enables managers and HR departments to plan employee shifts simply and efficiently in a clear calendar view with automatic checks and direct attendance integration.
Shift planning is still a manual and time-consuming process in many companies. Spreadsheets, paper tables and endless adjustments — all of this takes time that HR and managers could spend on more important tasks. The Fingera shift calendar digitises and automates this process.
The calendar offers monthly, weekly and daily shift views with colour-coded morning, afternoon and night shifts. Managers can create shift templates and apply them to entire teams or departments with one click. The system automatically checks for conflicts — overlapping shifts, exceeded working time budgets, violated legal break requirements and understaffing.
One of the most requested features is shift swapping. Employees can request a shift swap with a colleague directly in the system. Supervisors approve or reject the request, with the entire process recorded in a complete audit trail.
The calendar automatically accounts for employee availability — holidays, sick leave and other absences are displayed directly in the planning view. This allows managers to instantly see who can be assigned to a shift and who cannot.
Thanks to direct integration with the Fingera attendance system, hours worked are automatically compared with planned shifts. Overtime, night premiums and weekend shifts are calculated automatically and exported to the payroll system without further intervention.
The shift calendar is designed for various types of operations — from three-shift manufacturing plants to healthcare facilities, retail and logistics. Every industry has its specifics and the calendar can adapt to them.
Based on pilot deployment experience, the shift calendar saves managers up to 70 % of their time when planning shifts compared to the manual process. It also eliminates errors, ensures compliance with labour laws and increases employee satisfaction through transparent and fair scheduling.
The shift calendar is available via the Fingera web interface and mobile app, so employees can see their schedule anytime and anywhere. Notifications about assigned shifts, schedule changes and approved swaps are sent automatically.
