Question 1

What is Shiftsheet built for?

Accepted Answer

Shiftsheet is built for project-based firms and contractors with EBA-covered staff who also bill projects to external clients — engineering and technical consultancies, IT services firms, construction project management, and government contractors. It tracks RDOs, TIL, and Flexi time, and turns logged hours into project-based client invoices through a configurable rate hierarchy.

Question 2

Can Shiftsheet automatically calculate Time in Lieu (TIL)?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Shiftsheet calculates and accrues Time in Lieu (TIL) balances based on employee overtime rules and the compliance rules you've configured for their EBA or Award.

Question 3

Does Shiftsheet come with pre-loaded Awards or EBAs?

Accepted Answer

No. Shiftsheet gives you a configurable rules engine — you or your payroll team define conditions, set severity levels, and scope rules to a specific EBA. No specific Award or EBA has been validated end-to-end yet, so this supports your compliance workflow rather than replacing legal or payroll advice.

Question 4

How does Shiftsheet manage Flexi time for Australian employees?

Accepted Answer

Shiftsheet tracks each employee's Flexi time balance in real time, automatically calculating excess hours worked against ordinary time expectations. Managers can view, approve, and schedule Flexi time off directly from the dashboard.
