Every shift shows two things in one row: the light box shows what was planned, the bar inside it when the person was actually there. When the two differ, you see it at a glance. Here you find every situation from Kita life with an example.
Staff planning is an add-on. At its core Bienenstock stays the capture at the tablet. You only enter the planned hours and have the complete record. We connect your HR and payroll software free of charge.
Over: the light plan box with the actual time inside.
Running: plan and actual time up to now, the remaining plan after that.
Still to come: only the light plan box. You can move it.
A shift from 07:00 to 15:00, viewed at 11:00. The numbers explain the five parts.
One shift, viewed at 11:00
Every colour and pattern
Time runs on its own. Or drag the slider: the actual time grows inside the light plan box, and planned time nobody covered is hatched orange. Anyone who stays longer gets blue hatched overtime.
