Standard Hours and Overtime
The Employment Act defines standard hours and exceptions. Your team confirms which rules apply to each employee group and validates the timekeeping configuration; creating a schedule does not itself calculate pay.
Review vacancies, compare qualified staff and assign coverage across your locations.
Our clients
Qualified Fill ranks workers against configured criteria such as certifications, preferences and current schedules. Managers review the context and assign coverage.
Master schedules support multiple sites or managers. Use rotating or pattern schedules for repeating work and templates for staffing that changes week to week.
A planned shift is not proof of time worked. Managers correct and approve recorded time; approved hours feed the matching pay period when approved before cutoff.
Qualified Fill ranks workers using criteria your team configures, such as seniority, certifications, preferences and current schedules. Hard requirements can exclude a worker entirely.
Workers on leave or partly scheduled may remain lower in the list, so managers review the context before assigning.
Use rotating or pattern schedules for repeating shifts and templates for staffing that changes week to week.
Editing a generated schedule affects that period; changing a template can update future generated schedules and override their ad hoc edits.
Employees can view eligible vacant shifts and submit bids in self-service. A manager or administrator reviews the bids and assigns the worker.
A shift swap needs acceptance and approval; it is not an automatic two-way trade.
The schedule records planned work; timekeeping captures and reviews what was worked. Managers resolve daily exceptions, then configured time rules apply to recorded time.
Approved timesheet hours reach the matching pay run when approved before the Time Cut Off Date.
Master schedules support multiple sites and managers. Scheduling teams can group staff under the supervisor responsible for schedules, time exceptions and leave requests.
Confirm those responsibilities and how each team maps to the schedule policy.
Every requirement below is handled by the platform on every pay run, not configured per-customer.
The Employment Act defines standard hours and exceptions. Your team confirms which rules apply to each employee group and validates the timekeeping configuration; creating a schedule does not itself calculate pay.
Section 10 distinguishes overtime work on a public holiday or day off from other overtime. Validate the employee category and actual work performed before applying a configured premium.
Section 10 includes an exception for tipped categories in tourism and hospitality. Do not assume it applies to every gaming or restaurant role; confirm eligibility and the configured rule.
Keep the required wage records and review recorded hours alongside approved payroll inputs. A planned schedule is not evidence of the time worked.
Review the vacancy, compare candidates and assign coverage.
Where scheduling is enabled, approved full-day leave removes scheduled start and end times and creates a vacancy. Partial-day leave adjusts the schedule.
Qualified Fill ranks workers using configured criteria such as seniority, certifications, preferences and current schedules. Hard requirements can exclude a worker; an overlapping schedule does not always remove them from the list.
Employees can bid on eligible vacant shifts. A manager or administrator reviews the bids and assigns the selected worker; a bid is not an automatic assignment.
locations scheduled from one system
Per the Island Luck case study, 850 employees are scheduled across more than 60 locations, with facial recognition clocks feeding approved hours directly into eight weekly payroll cycles.
We knew digitizing was necessary, but what mattered most was choosing a solution built for businesses like ours. Workzoom delivered the tools we needed, from payroll to facial recognition clocks, and worked with us to address challenges along the way. The platform aligned well with how Island Luck operates.

The story
A vacancy needs more than a list of names. Workzoom’s Qualified Fill uses configured criteria such as certifications, preferences, seniority and current schedules. A manager reviews those factors and assigns the worker.
For a synthetic evaluation, approve a full-day absence at one site. Compare a worker missing a required credential with one who has an overlapping shift, then review a submitted bid. Confirm who makes the final assignment. This is a proposed demonstration, not a customer result.
The story
Workzoom supports rotating or pattern schedules for repeating staffing and template schedules for staffing that changes week to week. An edit to a generated schedule affects that period only. A template change can affect future generated schedules, so test that distinction before rollout.
Island Luck’s published story covers more than 60 Bahamian locations and eight payroll cycles a week. Its operational scale is proof of one implementation, not a requirement for a smaller employer to use scheduling.
The story
A planned shift is not the same as actual time worked. Configured timekeeping rules apply to recorded time; managers correct and approve exceptions before payroll. Approved hours feed the matching pay period when approved before cutoff.
Validate the applicable Employment Act requirements and employee categories with your team. Do not treat a configured premium or a qualified-fill ranking as a guarantee of legal compliance.
