Week schedule
Drag-free shift entry, copy last week, positions and areas, labour cost per day and overtime warnings before you publish.
Rosters for Fredericton's provincial government, post-secondary education and technology — shifts, a time clock and approved hours in one place. Overtime after 44 hours in a week, worked out before the hours reach payroll.
Fredericton has about 63,000 people, and with provincial government the largest employer of them and post-secondary education behind it, most local rosters are built by a manager who is also working the floor. It has to be quick on a phone, and it has to tell them when a change costs overtime.
Term time and the break between terms are two different operations, and a roster that works in October is the wrong size in July. Student staff also change availability every term, which is a scheduling problem more than a payroll one.
And the local shape of it: the capital's payroll is largely salaried, with the academic year setting the rhythm for a good part of it — which is what the roster has to bend around.
Build the week by dragging shifts, and staff see it on their phones as soon as you publish. They punch in on a tablet by the door or on their own phone, and late starts, missed breaks, a shift nobody clocked out of and anyone working unscheduled are flagged for a manager rather than quietly corrected. Breaks run to 30 minutes after five hours in New Brunswick.
Fredericton keeps Atlantic time.
Every punch is recorded against the local time it happened and the real elapsed hours are counted, so the two weekends a year when the clocks change do not need correcting by hand. How that works across New Brunswick, and across provinces if you roster in more than one.
New Brunswick works overtime out on the week, so the risk in Fredericton is the mid-week change: adding a shift can push hours already worked over the line. BooksAuto shows the running weekly total as you build. The threshold is provincial and the full rules are on the New Brunswick scheduling page.
Built for restaurants, shops, clinics and every team that works in shifts.

An Android tablet at the door: staff punch in with their Punch ID and a photo — even when the internet drops for a while.
Staff see their shifts, ask for swaps and time off, set their availability and get their pay stubs on their phone.
