shift tagging

Easily track what’s really happening on the ground.

Stay on top of sick days, no-shows, late arrivals, and shift covers—all in one place.

What is shift tagging and why does it matter?

Shift tagging lets you log what happens during each shift—whether someone was sick, late, or covering for a teammate. It builds a clear weekly record without relying on memory or messy spreadsheets. For Kiwi businesses, it’s a practical way to stay organised, keep your team accountable, and make confident payroll decisions.

Key benefits

🧠 Stay on top of what’s really happening

Track real-life shift changes and keep a reliable record of what’s occurred—no more guessing at week’s end.

📊 Make smarter people decisions

Spot patterns like frequent absences, last-minute covers, or ongoing reliability—so you can lead with insight, not assumptions.

💰 Ensure fair and accurate payroll

Tagged shifts provide a clear paper trail when it comes to covering shifts or addressing pay queries—making payroll easier and fairer.

📝 Keep managers aligned

When multiple people create or edit rosters, tags ensure everyone has visibility over what’s changed and why.

How it works

Tag shifts with just a few clicks

When creating or editing a shift, you can easily apply a tag such as “Sick”, “Late”, “Covering”, or “No-show”. It only takes a moment and helps you keep an accurate log of what’s happened during the week. This keeps your rostering clean, consistent, and easy to review.

Track team behaviour over time

Shift tags give you visibility into recurring patterns, like who often calls in sick or who reliably steps up to cover. Over time, this insight can help with performance reviews, rostering decisions, and spotting team trends early. It’s a simple way to manage your workforce with more clarity and confidence.

Back up pay decisions with shift data

Tagged shifts provide a clear audit trail, so there’s no confusion when reviewing timesheets or handling pay adjustments. If someone covers a shift, you’ve got a tagged record to support the extra payment. It helps reduce disputes and ensures everyone gets paid fairly.
