A shift calendar for security officers

Security work is often several employers at once, at several sites, at several rates. The rotation is the simple part. Knowing what each site paid you and which invoices are still outstanding is the part worth having.

Several employers, one calendar

Every shift goes in under the company or client who hired you, with the site, the hours and the rate. Save an employer once and it is there to pick from every time after.

Getting paid

The record that matters is not what you worked — it is what has actually been paid. Each shift carries its own status, so what is outstanding is visible rather than remembered, and a whole date range exports as a PDF when someone needs it in writing.

Getting to site

Addresses are saved with the job and open in maps from the calendar, which matters when the site changes every week. Where you drive your own vehicle, the miles can be recorded against the job.

What to switch off

The police categories and the court and jail directory can be renamed, hidden or deleted. What is left is a plain shift calendar with a proper record of what you earned.

The rotations this usually means

Whichever of these your employer runs, the cycle is drawn out day by day so you can check it against your own roster before you save it.

Built for police. Works for any rotation.

The law-enforcement side switches off. The rotation engine and the record of what you earned do not care what you do for a living.
