Drag a shift from one day to another, reuse your templates, repeat a shift every week. And when a week works, copy it onto the next one.
- Shift templates with hours, breaks and tasks
- Copy a whole week, as drafts
- Drag and drop, copy and paste across days and people
You see the conflicts before you publish
Approved leave, unavailability, two overlapping shifts, weekly capacity reached: Shifta flags it as you place the shift. You decide, nothing blocks you.
- Leave and unavailability shown in the grid
- A warning when the person already works at another of your venues
- Swiss Labour Act and L-GAV warnings, if you switch them on
You publish, the team is told
While a shift is a draft, the team does not see it. When you publish, each person gets a notification and finds their hours in the app, on iPhone and Android.
- One notification per person, not one per shift
- A change after publishing is notified at once
- Everyone sees their shifts, the team roster and the open shifts
And everything around the schedule
Open shifts
Publish a slot with nobody on it: the colleagues of that section are told and can put themselves forward.
Day notes
A delivery, an event, a public holiday: the note sits above the day, for the people it concerns.
Print and Excel
Print the week or the month on A4, or export the schedule to Excel with its totals.
Sections and positions
Group the team by section, give each position a colour and order the rows your way.
Several venues
Someone works at two sites? Shifta warns you when they are already scheduled elsewhere at the same time.
Tasks and checklists
Add an opening or closing checklist to a shift: the person ticks the tasks off as they go.
Across Switzerland, they trust us
Before, it was sheets of paper pinned behind a door. Now the staff organise themselves and swap their shifts. For me, it means far fewer hours spent on schedules.

Frequently asked questions about scheduling
What managers ask before they plan with Shifta.
Does my team see the schedule while I am still working on it?
No. Every new shift is a draft, visible only to the people who manage the schedule. The team sees published shifts only.
How is the team told?
When you publish, each person concerned gets a notification on their phone, then finds their shifts in the Shifta app (iPhone and Android) or in their browser. If you change the date or time of a published shift, the person is notified at once.
Can I reuse the schedule of an earlier week?
"Copy week" copies every shift of one week into another, as drafts: people, positions, breaks and open shifts. You adjust, then you publish.
What happens if I schedule someone during their leave?
Shifta shows a warning on the shift: approved leave, declared unavailability, an overlap with another shift or weekly capacity reached. A warning never blocks: you remain free to schedule anyway.
Can I create a shift that comes back every week?
Yes. Tick the days, switch on "Repeat" and choose an end date: Shifta creates one shift per ticked day, every week, until that date.
Can I print the schedule?
Yes, by week or by month, on A4 landscape, or export it to Excel. You choose what goes on it: unpublished shifts, leave, day notes, hour totals.
