The red line

A scheduling tool — we never handle wages

Shiftly does not run payroll, and does not collect, hold or transfer any wages or funds. Working-time limits, breaks, minimum wage and holiday entitlements vary by location and remain your responsibility as the employer. Our checks are planning prompts, not legal, payroll, tax or health-and-safety advice.

Questions,
answered plainly

Illustration of a scheduling question with a rota grid
Does Shiftly pay my staff or run payroll?+

No. Shiftly is scheduling software only. We never calculate, hold, transfer or pay wages. Hours are indicative for planning — your official records remain the source of truth for pay.

Will it keep me compliant with working-time law?+

No tool can. Working-time limits, rest breaks, minimum wage, holiday and young-worker rules vary by location and are your responsibility as the employer. Shiftly flags rest gaps and long runs as prompts, not legal advice.

Can I export and print the rota?+

Yes. Every rota exports as Markdown/PDF, the diagrams export as PNG, the timesheet exports as CSV, and Studio adds a weekly recap video.

How is my team's data handled?+

You are the data controller for your staff's information. We minimise what we store, and you can delete inputs and results. See our Privacy Policy and AI Disclaimer for the full detail.
