One app for managers and employees. Permissions determine what each person sees.

Live labor dashboard showing current employees and estimated labor

Capabilities

Built for the way the shift actually runs.

Each live labor dashboard capability below is part of the approved OnShift HQ product scope.

  • Who is on the clock

    Show current employees in active work state with role, shift/punch timing, and permitted location/attendance context.

  • Headcount by role

    Summarize current workers by configured role or category—such as cooks, servers, technicians, or front desk.

  • Running labor estimate

    Calculate estimated labor cost from tracked time and configured pay assumptions; label it clearly as an estimate.

  • Day/week/month drill-down

    Managers can zoom from company totals into employee-level hours and estimated labor views over useful time ranges.

  • Attendance signals

    Surface late arrivals, late break returns, missed punches, and other enabled attendance indicators without requiring a report export.

  • Employee drill-down

    Open an employee from the dashboard to review today's time state, hours, estimated cost, and relevant attendance context.

  • Refresh behavior

    Keep live data fresh enough for operational decisions and show a visible last-updated state if data is not streaming.

  • Manager-only visibility

    Labor/pay assumptions and team-wide dashboard information are restricted to authorized roles.

Notifications

Notifications that match the workflow.

Alert behavior is configurable, so important live labor events can surface without turning every action into noise. Examples below use demo data.
