Types of Schedules in Clockster

Clockster offers several schedule types that help organize employee working hours flexibly depending on the work format, vacations, or business trips. Below are the main types:

1. Work Schedule

This is the standard type of schedule where an employee works on specific days and hours. It can include various modes such as:

  • Fixed schedule (e.g., 5/2, 6/1)

  • Shift work

  • Rotational schedule (e.g., 14/14)

  • Business trip (as a separate type within work shifts)

2. Free Schedule

Used when there are no strict start and end times for shifts. The system records actual working hours based on check-in and check-out marks. In this mode, late arrivals and early departures are not shown in reports.

(For details, see the section above about flexible schedules.)

3. Open Schedule (Open Shifts)

Allows employees to choose available shifts from a list. The administrator creates an “open shift,” and employees sign up for it via the app.

This is convenient for cafés, shops, warehouses, and other workplaces with fluctuating staffing needs.

4. Leave Schedule

Used to mark days when an employee is not working due to vacation, illness, or other reasons.
Includes the following types:

  • Day off

  • Sick leave

  • Annual leave

  • Unpaid leave

  • Compensatory leave

  • Special leave

  • Personal leave

  • Maternity leave

  • Paternity leave

  • Emergence leave

  • And others.
