The scores

Roster building & demand planning

Show reasoning
How this is scored

How a plan gets built across locations, roles and qualifications — templates, staffing requirements, forecasting from sales or occupancy, and whether the product proposes a roster or only draws one.

0 — A shared calendar of shifts; no templates, no roles or qualifications, and no notion of how many people a shift needs.

3 — Shift templates and a weekly grid per location, with roles attached, but staffing needs and qualifications are the planner's memory rather than the system's.

5 — Templates, roles and qualifications, staffing requirements per shift, open shifts, multiple locations and departments, and coverage gaps shown before publication.

8 — Demand-based planning from a named data source (POS revenue, footfall, occupancy or bookings), automatic roster proposals the planner can accept or adjust, labour cost shown against budget while planning, and cross-location staff sharing.

10 — Planning closes the loop: forecast, proposed roster and actual hours compared in one place, the proposal explains which rule or demand figure drove each assignment, and the vendor documents the forecasting method rather than calling it AI.

The Shift Manager

A drag & drop shift planner with labor cost tracking and vacation visibility is a real planning tool, more than a shared calendar. But we found no public information on shift templates, roles or qualifications, staffing requirements per shift, coverage checks before publication, or demand-based planning — so it's me dragging boxes around with the rules in my head, not the system's. 1

Report an error

The Operations Director

The pages evidence a drag-and-drop planner with labor cost tracking and vacation visibility — a functioning weekly roster — but we found no public information on shift templates, roles or qualifications, staffing requirements per shift, coverage gaps, multi-location planning, or any demand forecast from POS or occupancy data. For thirty locations that gap is decisive: the system holds shifts while demand and coverage stay in the planner's memory. 1

Report an error

The Payroll Officer

The captured pages show a drag & drop shift planner, labor-cost tracking and vacation unavailability, so a plan gets drawn and costed. But we found no public information on shift templates, roles or qualifications, staffing requirements per shift, multiple locations, or any forecasting from sales or occupancy — the system never proposes a roster and the headcount math stays in the planner's head. 1

The Works Council Advocate

The captured pages describe a drag-and-drop planner with labor-cost tracking and vacation visibility, which is a real scheduling tool rather than a shared calendar.

The Skeptic

The pages show a drag-and-drop shift planner with labor-cost tracking, shift-request management and vacation visibility — more than a bare calendar, but we found no public information on templates, roles or qualifications, staffing requirements per shift, coverage warnings, or any demand- or forecast-driven proposal. Demand planning from POS or occupancy data and cross-location working are entirely unevidenced. 1

Working-time law & collective agreements

Show reasoning
How this is scored

Whether the roster knows the rules it is subject to — ArbZG rest periods and maximum hours, youth and maternity protection, Minijob earnings limits, Tarifvertrag and works-agreement rules, surcharges — and whether it enforces them, warns, or leaves them to the export.

0 — No working-time rules described anywhere; the pages mention no check on daily hours, breaks or rest periods.

3 — Compliance is claimed as "supported" but the pages name no specific rule, or only a generic overtime warning exists.

5 — Named checks for the ArbZG daily maximum, the 11-hour rest period and breaks, plus a Minijob earnings warning, shown to the planner before publication; whether the check blocks or only warns is stated.

8 — Configurable rule sets per contract or employee group covering Tarifvertrag surcharges (night, Sunday, holiday), time accounts, youth-protection limits and works-agreement rules, with the planner's override of a violation recorded and reasoned.

10 — The rules are modelled as law, not as warnings: maintained rule sets for named collective agreements, sector-specific exceptions (care, hospitality) documented with the statute they rely on, every override attributable, and published guidance mapping each feature to the provision it serves.

Report an error

The Shift Manager

The only working-time-adjacent features are payroll-side — overtime rates in the payroll calculator and unpaid break deduction for reports. We found no public information on any check of daily hours, the 11-hour rest period, breaks, youth or maternity limits, Minijob earnings or collective-agreement surcharges, and nothing shows a warning before publication. 1

Report an error

The Operations Director

Working time appears only as payroll arithmetic — an unpaid break deduction to keep exports accurate, overtime rates, and variable rates by time of day and employee age — while we found no public information on any compliance check for daily maximum hours, rest periods, breaks as a rule, youth or maternity protection, Minijob limits, or collective-agreement surcharges. A roster that names no law it enforces leaves every violation with me. 1

Report an error

The Payroll Officer

No working-time check is described anywhere on the captured pages — nothing on daily hour maximums, rest periods, youth or maternity protection, Minijob earnings limits, or Tarifvertrag and works-agreement rules. The closest items are an unpaid-break deduction and overtime rates in the payroll calculator, which are calculations for the export, not rules the roster enforces before publication. 1

Report an error

The Works Council Advocate

Nothing in the captured pages names a working-time rule — no daily maximum, no rest period, no youth or maternity protection, no collective agreement. The only rule-adjacent features are overtime rates and unpaid-break deductions inside the payroll calculation, which pay for hours rather than check them; we found no public information on any warning shown to the planner before publication. 1

Report an error

The Frontline Employee

The only rule-adjacent facts are overtime rates in the payroll calculator, unpaid break deduction from reports, and variable pay rates by time of day and day of week — pay arithmetic, not enforcement. We found no public information on checks for daily hours, rest periods, youth or maternity protection, Minijob limits or collective-agreement rule sets. 1

Report an error

The Skeptic

The pages name no specific working-time rule anywhere — no daily-hours maximum, no 11-hour rest period, no break, youth-protection, Minijob or collective-agreement check — and nothing on whether any violation would warn or block. Variable pay rates for times of day, days of week and employee age plus overtime rates are payroll arithmetic, not rule enforcement in the roster. 1

Mobile self-service for deskless staff

Show reasoning
How this is scored

What the employee on the shop floor actually gets: a mobile app to read the roster, enter availability, request and accept swaps, claim open shifts and clock in — in their language, on their own device or a shared one.

0 — No employee access; the roster is printed or sent as a PDF.

3 — A read-only app or web view of one's own shifts, with changes still requested by phone or chat.

5 — Mobile app with availability entry, absence requests, shift-swap requests with manager approval, open-shift claiming and push notification of changes.

8 — Swaps and open shifts resolved under the rule set (qualifications and rest periods checked before approval), clock-in by app or shared terminal with offline handling, multilingual interface, and team communication that keeps shift talk out of private messengers.

10 — Self-service is designed for people who never open a laptop: swap and cover flows that resolve without a manager where the rules allow, accessibility and language coverage stated, use on a shared or personal device both supported, and employees able to see and export the data held about them.

Report an error

The Shift Manager

iOS and Android apps where staff log in to request, cancel and swap shifts pending manager approval, with email, text and push notifications, day-before reminders, phone calendar sync and a notice board — that's most of my Saturday-morning flow. But we found no public information on availability entry, open-shift claiming, clock-in from the app, or multilingual use. 1

Report an error

The Operations Director

iOS and Android apps let staff log in to request, cancel and swap shifts pending manager approval, with push notifications and roster sync to the phone calendar — clearly more than a read-only view. We found no public information on availability entry, absence requests from the app, open-shift claiming, or whether staff clock in on their own or a shared device, so the flows a deskless workforce lives in are unevidenced. 1

Report an error

The Payroll Officer

Employees get iOS and Android apps, can request, cancel and swap shifts pending manager approval, receive automated day-before reminders, and can be reached by email, text or push — the shop-floor worker is genuinely served, not emailed a PDF. We found no public information on availability entry, open-shift claiming, clock-in from the app, offline handling or language coverage, which leaves self-service a step short of the fuller definition. 1

Report an error

The Works Council Advocate

Employees get genuine access: iOS and Android apps, login to request, cancel and swap shifts pending manager approval, shift reminders, and messages by email, text or push. We found no public information on employees entering their own availability or requesting absence, on open-shift claiming under the rule set, on a multilingual interface, or on offline clock-in. 1

Report an error

The Frontline Employee

There are iOS and Android apps, and I can log in to request, cancel and swap shifts pending manager approval, with push notifications, day-before reminders and my roster in my phone's calendar — the swap-without-three-calls flow exists.

Works council & employee data

Show reasoning
How this is scored

Whether the product can be introduced under co-determination (BetrVG § 87) — role-based visibility, what is logged, which monitoring can be switched off, retention of availability, absence and location data — and whether the vendor supplies what a works agreement needs.

0 — No roles or visibility settings described, no statement of what is stored, logged or retained, and GPS or activity tracking presented without any mention of switching it off.

3 — Basic admin and employee roles exist, but visibility of absence reasons or location data is not configurable and retention is unstated.

5 — Configurable roles limiting who sees whose data, GPS and similar tracking optional and off by default or stated as switchable, a published DPA, and a retention or deletion statement for employee records.

8 — Fine-grained visibility (absence reasons hidden from colleagues and line managers where not needed), an audit log of who viewed and changed an individual's data, configurable deletion periods, and documentation the vendor offers for works-council approval.

10 — Data minimisation is designed in and evidenced: a model works agreement or feature-by-feature data inventory published, no performance or behaviour scoring of individuals, monitoring functions individually deactivatable, and deletion executed automatically per configured period.

Report an error

The Shift Manager

There is a data protection page alongside the policy set, personal data is stated as encrypted, and transport runs over SSL. Beyond an implied manager-versus-employee split we found no public information on configurable visibility of sensitive data, audit logs, retention or deletion periods, or documentation a works council could review. 1

Report an error

The Operations Director

The pages imply separate manager and staff logins, publish a data-protection policy, and state that names, emails, passwords, phone numbers, facilities, shifts and custom columns are encrypted — a partial inventory of what is held. We found no public information on configurable visibility of absence reasons, audit logs of who viewed or changed an employee's data, retention and deletion periods, or documentation to support a works agreement, which is what a co-determination introduction turns on. 1

Report an error

The Payroll Officer

Encryption of personal data, SSL and a published data protection page are stated, and the manager-approval flow implies manager and employee roles. We found no public information on configurable visibility of absence reasons, audit logs of who viewed or changed a record, retention or deletion periods, or any documentation a works council could use — nothing here that a co-determination negotiation could be built on. 1

Report an error

The Works Council Advocate

For a works agreement I need visibility rules, logs and deletion periods, and on all three we found no public information; the only statements are that personal data is encrypted, that data moves over SSL, and that privacy and data-protection pages exist by name. Who may see absence reasons, whether the free time clock produces a per-person record and who can view it, and how long employee data is retained are all unaddressed in public — I could not co-determine this product on today's record. 1

Report an error

The Frontline Employee

The pages list privacy and data-protection policies and state that personal data is encrypted and traffic uses SSL. We found no public information on role-based visibility of absence or other data, what is logged and retained, optional tracking, or documentation a works council could use for approval. 1

Report an error

The Skeptic

A data protection policy is published and the encryption statement enumerates what is stored (names, emails, phone numbers, facilities, shifts, custom columns), with a manager-versus-employee split implied only by the approval workflow. We found no public information on configurable visibility of sensitive data, an audit log, retention or deletion periods, or documentation a works council would need. 1

Payroll handoff & integrations

Show reasoning
How this is scored

How planned and worked hours, surcharges and absences reach payroll — DATEV, Lohn und Gehalt, the tax adviser — and how the roster connects to the POS, HR and time systems a shift business already runs.

0 — No payroll path and no integrations; the month leaves as a spreadsheet someone retypes.

3 — Generic CSV export said to suit payroll, with no named payroll system and no surcharge handling.

5 — A named payroll integration or documented export (e.g. DATEV Lohn und Gehalt or LODAS) covering hours, absences and surcharges, plus at least one named POS or HR integration.

8 — Vendor-maintained payroll integrations with a lock step before transmission, wage types mapped per surcharge, POS integrations feeding forecasting, an HR master-data sync, and a documented API.

10 — Payroll is designed for, not exported to: several named payroll systems maintained, retro corrections after the close handled, the tax adviser given scoped access, and a versioned public API with webhooks and a deprecation policy.

A payroll calculator combines timesheets, schedules, pay and overtime rates, with variable hourly rates by time of day, day of week and employee age, plus automated payroll reports, unpaid break deduction for exports, a developer API and unnamed partner apps. But we found no public information naming a payroll system — nothing on DATEV or Lohn und Gehalt — nor a named POS or HR integration. 1

We found no public information naming a payroll system such as DATEV or LODAS, a named POS or HR integration, wage-type mapping, or a lock step before transmission — I cannot see from public pages what my tax adviser would actually receive. 1

Report an error

The Payroll Officer

A payroll calculator combines timesheets, schedules, pay rates and overtime rates, unpaid breaks are deducted to keep payroll exports accurate, and hourly rates can differ by time of day, day of week and age — rate differentiation that could in principle carry night and Sunday supplements. But no payroll system is named — nothing on DATEV, Lohn und Gehalt or the tax adviser, no wage types, no lock step before transmission, no named POS or HR partner — so the worked month still leaves as a generic export someone retypes. 1

European sovereignty panel opinion

Show reasoning
How this is scored

Where the employee data lives, who the contracting entity is, who the subprocessors are, and whether that is documented rather than assumed. Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline; weighted seriously here, because a scheduling tool holds availability, absence and often location data about employees who had no say in the vendor.

0 — Non-EU vendor and contracting entity, hosting region unstated or non-EU, subprocessors not named.

3 — EU hosting offered as an option or claimed without a provider, while the contracting entity is non-EU or the subprocessor list is absent.

5 — EU hosting as standard and an EU contracting entity, but the subprocessor chain (messaging, push notification, analytics, support) includes non-EU providers without an explained safeguard.

8 — EU or DACH hosting with a named data-centre provider, EU contracting entity, full subprocessor list published, and any non-EU processing — push notification services included — named with its legal basis.

10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: vendor, entity, hosting and every subprocessor in the EU, certification published, and a DPA that covers the employee data the app collects on personal devices.

Report an error

The Shift Manager

The captured pages give different figures for the contracting entity — the site footer names Findmyshift B.V. while the vendor line names Findmyshift Ltd — so I can't tell who I'd be signing with. We found no public information on hosting region, data-centre provider or subprocessors, which matters when the tool holds absence and availability data on people who never chose the vendor. 1

Report an error

The Operations Director

The captured pages name only Findmyshift B.V. in the copyright line while the vendor is listed as Findmyshift Ltd — different figures for the contracting entity — and describe the product simply as cloud hosted. We found no public information on the hosting region, a data-centre provider, any subprocessor, or a data-processing agreement covering the employee data the apps collect; for a tool holding availability and absence data, that is a serious gap. 1

Report an error

The Payroll Officer

The entity named on the site is Findmyshift B.V., which reads as Dutch, but the independent sovereignty sourcing recorded no attributes at all. We found no public information on hosting region, data-centre provider or the subprocessor chain for messaging and push, so where availability and absence data physically live is unstated. 1

Report an error

The Works Council Advocate

The captured pages give the contracting entity in two forms — Findmyshift Ltd in the vendor record and Findmyshift B.V. in the copyright line — and we found no public information on where employee data is hosted, which data-centre provider holds it, or which subprocessors carry messaging and push. A scheduling tool holds availability and absence data on people who never chose the vendor, so this gap weighs heavily and is not a basis I would sign against. 1

Report an error

The Frontline Employee

The captured pages name Findmyshift Ltd as the vendor while the copyright line reads Findmyshift B.V., hosting is described only as cloud-hosted with availability guarantees, and we found no public information on the hosting region, a named data-centre provider, or any subprocessor list — for a tool holding my availability and absence data, that silence matters. 1

The independently sourced sovereignty record is empty, and the pages give different figures for the contracting entity: the footer reads Findmyshift B.V. while the vendor line reads Findmyshift Ltd.

Pricing transparency

Show reasoning
How this is scored

Whether a buyer can compute the real annual invoice for their headcount and locations — including the time clock, payroll export, forecasting and other modules sold as add-ons — from public pages alone.

0 — No public prices at all; every tier is a sales conversation.

3 — A per-employee headline exists, but which features sit in which tier, the add-on modules, or a minimum seat or location count are unpriced or unmentioned.

5 — Per-employee or per-location prices public for the main tiers with the billing period stated, but at least one commonly needed piece (time clock, payroll export, forecasting, terminal hardware) is an unpriced add-on.

8 — Every tier and add-on priced publicly with the per-employee maths, how inactive or seasonal staff are counted, minimum term and VAT treatment stated; only genuinely custom work lacks a number.

10 — Complete price computability: a calculator or table producing the annual invoice for a given headcount, location count and module selection, including hardware, onboarding and renewal terms.

Report an error

The Shift Manager

The tiers are public and plain — "FREE forever for 5 STAFF OR LESS", "€24 per month for 20 EMPLOYEES", "€37 per month for 100 EMPLOYEES", "€74 per month for 300 EMPLOYEES" — with a free 3 month trial, no credit card required, and the time clock stated as free of charge. What blocks a full invoice figure is what's unsaid: VAT treatment, minimum term, how seasonal or inactive staff count, and anything above 300 staff — we found no public information on those. 1

The Payroll Officer

Four public tiers by staff count — free forever for 5 staff or less, then €24, €37 and €74 per month — with the time clock stated as free of charge and a free 3 month trial, so a small buyer can read off a monthly figure. But the tiers stop at 300 employees, and VAT treatment, minimum term and how seasonal or inactive staff are counted are not stated, so the real annual invoice is not fully computable from public pages. 1

We found no public information on which features sit in which band, pricing above 300 staff, how seasonal or inactive staff are counted, VAT treatment or minimum term, which keeps the annual invoice computable only up to that ceiling. 1
