Week schedule
Drag-free shift entry, copy last week, positions and areas, labour cost per day and overtime warnings before you publish.
Rosters for Happy Valley-Goose Bay's the air base and defence services, public administration and health care — shifts, a time clock and approved hours in one place. Overtime after 40 hours in a week, worked out before the hours reach payroll.
In a town of about 8,100 the roster is usually a handful of people covering between them, and everybody knows everybody. What still goes wrong is the record: who actually worked, when, and whether the hours that reached payroll were the hours worked.
Fixed hours make the schedule itself straightforward; what still has to be right is leave, coverage and the approval trail, because an approved timesheet is the record everything else is built on.
And the local shape of it: a remote centre where northern allowances and travel benefits are a normal part of the pay calculation — 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 60 minutes after five hours in Newfoundland and Labrador.
Happy Valley-Goose Bay keeps Newfoundland time, half an hour ahead of Atlantic.
The half hour matters more than it sounds. Anything scheduled from outside the province — a head office roster, a call that has to be covered from eight — lands thirty minutes off if the offset is assumed rather than applied. BooksAuto records each punch against the local time it happened, so the hours on the timesheet are the hours the person worked.
Newfoundland and Labrador works overtime out on the week, so the risk in Happy Valley-Goose Bay 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 Newfoundland and Labrador scheduling page.
Built for restaurants, shops, clinics and every team that works in shifts.
Drag-free shift entry, copy last week, positions and areas, labour cost per day and overtime warnings before you publish.
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.
Late starts, missed punches and unscheduled shifts are flagged. Approve a week in one click — overtime follows your province's rules.

Happy Valley-Goose Bay keeps Newfoundland time, half an hour ahead of Atlantic. Every punch is recorded against the local time it happened and the real elapsed hours are counted, so the two weekends a year when clocks change do not need correcting by hand — including the half-hour offset, which is where a roster built outside the province usually goes wrong.
