Can Zeba handle night and rotational shifts?

Yes. Create general, night, and rotational shifts, then assign them to departments, teams, or individuals. Overnight punches follow the shift date so late-night work does not land on the wrong calendar day before payroll.

What is a shift date and why does it matter?

For overnight shifts, attendance attaches to the shift date (the day the shift belongs to), not midnight on the phone clock. Optional start and end buffers keep early punches and late check-outs on the correct payable day.

Can different teams follow different shifts?

Yes. Plants, warehouses, hubs, and offices can run separate shift templates. Assign by department or employee so one company calendar is not forced onto every site.

Do shifts connect to attendance and payroll?

Yes. Shift rules drive expected hours, late marks, overtime windows, and payable days. Clean shift dates reduce LOP disputes when finance runs India payroll.

Can holiday calendars differ by shift or location?

Yes. Align holidays with location and shift calendars so night crews and plant teams are not stuck on a single office holiday list.

The Shift Reality

Shifts Should Not Break Payroll Days

When night punches attach to midnight instead of the shift date, payable days, OT, and LOP drift - and finance rebuilds the month from chat.

Zeba keeps overnight attendance on the shift date, with optional start/end buffers, so plant and hub teams hand payroll a calendar it can trust.

Everything You Need to Run Shifts

Day, Night & Rotational Shifts

Define start/end times for general, night, and rotational patterns. Assign by department, team, or person without rebuilding policies every week.

Shift-Date Overnight Punches

Overnight work stays on the shift date. Late-night check-ins and early-morning check-outs do not flip to the wrong calendar day before payroll.

Start & End Boundary Buffers

Optional buffers absorb early arrivals and late exits so attendance stays attached to the intended shift instead of creating noise for HR.

Department & Individual Assignment

Give manufacturing lines, warehouse hubs, and office teams their own shift templates - then override for people who rotate.

Holiday Alignment by Location

Pair shifts with location-aware holiday calendars so plant and hub crews are not forced onto one HQ holiday list.

Feeds Late, OT & Payable Days

Shift rules inform late grace, overtime windows, and payable days that flow into LOP and India payroll - not a second Excel cleanup.
