Built for the way hourly teams work

Scheduling

Build the week your way, then publish it to everyone's phone.

Weekly grid per location, colour-coded by role or time of day
Open shifts anyone can pick up; drops and swaps with manager approval
Copy last week, bulk and repeating shifts
Warnings for overlaps, time off, unavailability and overtime before you publish
Availability and preferred hours from each employee

Automatic schedule drafts

One click drafts next week from your recent schedules.

Keeps shifts that repeated in at least 2 of the last 4 weeks
Fills each with someone who usually works it and is free
Respects approved time off, unavailability and your overtime limit
Everything arrives as a draft: you review, then publish

Labor cost & budgets

See what the week will cost while you build it.

Projected wages per day and per week, including the overtime premium
Weekly budget per location, or a one-off budget for a busy week
Pay rates imported from QuickBooks or Gusto, or entered by hand
Schedulers see totals only, never individual pay

Time clock & kiosks

Clock in from a phone, a browser or a shared tablet.

Breaks, late arrivals and missed punches tracked automatically
Kiosk mode with employee number and PIN; PINs are never stored in readable form
Optional location check at clock-in that keeps only the distance, never coordinates
Manager corrections with a reason, kept in the audit log

Timesheets & payroll export

Approve each pay period and send hours to payroll.

Weekly or biweekly pay periods, daily and weekly overtime, rounding
Download for Gusto's spreadsheet import, copy a list for QuickBooks Online, or export Excel and CSV
Paid time off taken in the period and an estimated gross for hourly staff
Approved periods lock their totals

Break & overtime alerts

Heads-ups based on common state rules, for 20 states plus federal.

Meal-break and daily-overtime warnings while you build shifts
Live alerts to managers when someone's meal break is coming due
Seventh-day and double-time warnings where the state has them
Alerts are reminders, not legal advice, and never change pay

Time off & PTO

Decide how much time off people get and how they earn it.

Earned per hour worked, per pay period, monthly, or yearly on January 1 or work anniversaries
Waiting periods, eligible employment types and up to four seniority steps
Maximum balances and automatic year-end carryover
Exceptions for individual people; staff see how they earn each balance

Messages & documents

Keep the team informed without a group chat.

Direct messages, channels and announcements with read receipts
Up to 10 company PDFs such as the handbook, with "I've read this" sign-off
Profiles with certifications and expiry reminders
Day and night mode on every device

And the rest

Works on any phone through the browser; nothing to install
Guided setup and a learning center for new businesses
Reports and exports for hours, attendance, time off and coverage
Talstor support can help inside your workspace only when you allow it
