Create Schedules. Track Adherence. Know Who Showed Up.
Most scheduling tools stop at creating shifts. HiveDesk connects your schedule to actual clock-in data — so you see who showed up, who was late, and who missed their shift. No more guessing.

Schedules Without Accountability Are Just Wishful Thinking
You need to know not just who was scheduled, but who actually showed up and worked.
Without connected scheduling
- Schedules live in spreadsheets with no link to actual attendance
- Late arrivals and no-shows go unnoticed until clients complain
- Overtime builds up invisibly until payroll is due
- Time-off requests get lost in email threads
With HiveDesk scheduling
- Clock-in times are compared against scheduled shifts automatically
- Late arrivals and absences are flagged on your dashboard in real time
- Overtime hours are visible before payroll, not after
- Leave requests and approvals are built into the schedule
How Scheduling Works
From shift creation to adherence reports in three steps.
Create Shifts
Set up shifts with start/end times. Assign employees and create recurring schedules for weekly rotations.
Employees Clock In
Employees start tracking time through the desktop, mobile, or browser app. HiveDesk records actual times against scheduled shifts.
Review Adherence
See who was on time, late, or absent. Review overtime, attendance, and timesheets. Export as PDF or Excel for payroll.
Scheduling That Connects to Real Work Data
Shifts, attendance, leave, and overtime — all in one place.
Shift Creation & Templates
Create shifts with start/end times. Build reusable templates for weekly rotations so you never rebuild the same schedule twice. Assign employees by team, department, or location.
Schedule Adherence Tracking
Compare actual clock-in/out times against scheduled shifts. See who showed up on time, who was late, and who was absent — without checking manually.
Leave & Time-Off Integration
Approved time off is reflected in the schedule automatically. Managers see who is available before assigning shifts, preventing coverage gaps from unplanned absences.
Holiday Calendars
Create holiday calendars for different offices and regions. Holidays are factored into scheduling and attendance tracking so they are not flagged as absences.
Overtime Visibility
Track daily and weekly hours worked against scheduled shifts. Overtime hours surface in reports before payroll — no end-of-month surprises.
Break Time Compliance
Track meal breaks and rest periods against scheduled break times. Break data is included in timesheets for compliance with labor law requirements.
