Does scheduling software handle split and overnight shifts correctly for overtime?
Overnight shifts crossing the week boundary and split shifts trip up payroll in many systems. Ask how a Sunday 10 PM to Monday 6 AM shift is counted.
Answer. Overnight shifts that cross midnight or the end of the pay week, and split shifts, trip up payroll in many systems. Ask how a Sunday 10 PM to Monday 6 AM shift is counted. Some platforms split overnight visits at midnight automatically. Caregiver Scheduling handles shifts that cross midnight and span several days; overtime by your state’s rules is coming soon with timesheets.
