Shifts, attendance and leave. Sorted.
CrewDesk plans your rota, records every punch-in, break and late arrival, and turns leave requests into a one-click approval. Your whole team in one simple app, instead of spreadsheets and WhatsApp.

Everything a shift team needs. Nothing it doesn't.
CrewDesk replaces the rota spreadsheet, the punch register and the leave WhatsApp group with one simple app everyone can use.
Rota and shifts
Set up each team's shifts, including night shifts and custom times, then give everyone a usual shift. Change single days on the weekly rota and spot gaps before they happen.
Punch in, punch out
One big button on My day. Times come from the server clock in your time zone, so nobody can change the time on their computer. Late arrivals are flagged automatically.
Breaks that add up
Start and end breaks with one click. Set the break allowance and how much is paid; long breaks are flagged, and unpaid time comes off hours worked.
Attendance and payroll
Daily and monthly attendance with present, half day, absent, week off and leave. Export timesheets and payable days to CSV for payroll.
Leave and time fixes
People request sick, unpaid, parental or other leave from My leave; crew support approves it and it shows on the rota. Forgot to punch? They ask for a correction.
One computer, every shift
Different shifts share the same desk? Each person signs in with their own email and password, and signs out when their shift ends. Their punches stay theirs.
The right view for every person.
Three simple roles, so people only see what they need.

- US, Canada and UK: weekly hours with overtime after 40, 44 or 37.5 hours

Night shifts that end the next morning are handled for you.
Up and running before your next shift.
No training day, no consultants. Three steps and your team is punching in.
Set up your company
Pick your region for working hours and week-offs, then add your teams and their shifts, including night shifts and custom times.
Add your people
Add crew support and employees with their usual shift. Each person gets an email link that signs them straight in, then sets their own password.
Run the day
Staff punch in and take breaks; you see who's in, who's late and what needs approving, and export attendance for payroll at month end.
Give your team one place to start the day.
Set up your company in about five minutes. It's free while we're in early access, and there's no card to enter.
