Scheduling Shifts

How do I assign a shift to employees in Tazk Payroll?

Open Shifts → Schedule Shift and click + Add Schedule. Choose Month Wise and the month, or Date Wise and a start and end date in the same month, pick the Shift, and choose Monthly or Auto Renew. Tick the employees on the left — filter by category, department, location or role — check their attendance policy status on the right, and click Assign Schedule.

Overview

The Schedule Shift tab shows the Schedule List — every shift assignment ("Assign shifts to employees over a date range").

How do I create a schedule?

Tazk Payroll Schedule Shift form with Schedule Configuration, Available Employees and Selected Employees
  1. Click + Add Schedule. The Schedule Shift form opens ("Assign shifts to employees for the selected period").
  2. Period Type — Month Wise for a whole month (choose the Year and Month), or Date Wise for a Start Date and End Date in the same month.
  3. Select the Shift.
  4. Scheduling Options — Monthly for this month only, or Auto Renew to create the same schedule again automatically at the start of every month (Month Wise only). There is also an Overwrite option.
  5. In Available Employees, search by name or ID, or use the filter icon for Category, Department, Location and Role. Tick employees, or Select All.
  6. Check Selected Employees on the right — each shows role, location, category and Attendance Policy Status (Assigned or Not Assigned). Remove anyone you added by mistake.
  7. Click Assign Schedule.

Icons in the employee list warn you when someone is already on another shift that month, has an auto-renewing shift, or (for a past month) has salary already processed.

Important: If an employee has no attendance policy, attendance is simply marked Present after they check in and out — no late, early or grace rules are applied. Assign an attendance policy to their category first.
Note: A new schedule cannot clash with the times of a shift already assigned to the same employee. For a past month, employees whose salary is already processed cannot be back-dated.
Tip: Use Auto Renew for employees on a fixed shift, so you do not have to schedule them every month. For rotating shifts, create a Date Wise schedule for each part of the month.
