Posts as configurable positions
Represent recurring responsibilities in the same calendar your team uses every day.
For security teams
WorkShift HQ helps security managers coordinate positions, shifts, availability, time off, coverage requests, messages, and timesheets.
A practical fit
Set up positions that reflect posts or responsibilities, then give managers a clear view of who is assigned across the week. Keep schedule changes and operational documents accessible to the team without claiming location verification or guaranteed coverage.

Managers review differences for follow-up.
Yes. Set up staff, positions and business hours, collect availability, then build a private plan. Review changes before publishing all workspace changes. You can import staff and draft shifts from a spreadsheet or another scheduling tool’s export; start with a manageable period.
Staff can use the browser portal. Ask the manager for the approved companion-app install route if you prefer it. Requests and other tools depend on individual permissions; internet access is required.
No. Keep booking, specialist industry tools, accounting and payroll in their own systems. WorkShift supports staffing decisions, coordination and reviewed hours; it does not certify staffing sufficiency or run payroll.
Check configured staffing targets, then review all workspace changes before publication. Publication can queue change notices; monthly schedule-email resends are separate.

Staff self-service tools depend on per-person permissions; cover claims need manager approval. Owners and individually pay-approved managers can review pay reports. Time-clock records need review and do not process payroll. Solo and Studio support one location; Salon supports multiple locations. Email and optional opted-in text alerts require configured providers. Ask your manager for the current approved staff-app install route; public app-store availability is not confirmed.
