Quick answer

The Shifts module in Easedesk lets you plan rostering. Multiple shift templates, bulk assignment, and night-shift allowance — all in one place, designed for Indian SMEs.

What is the Shifts module?

The Shifts module in Easedesk ERP is built for Indian businesses that need to plan rostering without juggling spreadsheets or stitching together multiple tools. It is part of Easedesk's 50+ module unified platform.

It is included in every Easedesk subscription (subject to plan availability) and works out-of-the-box with sensible Indian defaults — INR currency, April–March fiscal year, GST-aware pricing, and Indian compliance.

Key features

Shifts ships with the following capabilities:

  • Multiple shift templates
  • Bulk assignment
  • Night-shift allowance
  • Schedule export

Who should use it?

Teams that plan rostering regularly will get the most value. Common users include HR managers, payroll admins and team leads.

Why teams choose Easedesk for this

Compared to standalone tools, Easedesk's Shifts module gives you:

  • Predictable rosters
  • Fair distribution
  • Pay rules baked in

Permissions required

Access to Shifts is controlled by the Easedesk RBAC system. By default, the predefined roles that include access are typically Admin, HR Manager and the Viewer role (read-only). Owners can edit role permissions in Settings → Users & Roles.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Shifts module do in Easedesk?
It lets you plan rostering from a single place inside Easedesk, with Indian-format defaults (INR, GST, April fiscal year) and audit-grade history.
Is Shifts included in my Easedesk plan?
Shifts is part of Easedesk's 50+ module platform and is available subject to your subscription plan. Most plans include it by default — check Settings → Billing for what your plan covers.
Who can access Shifts?
Access is governed by role-based permissions. By default, Owner and Admin roles have full access; module-specific predefined roles (e.g. HR Manager for HR, Accountant for Finance) grant scoped access. You can customise this in Settings → Users & Roles.
Can Shifts be disabled if my team doesn't need it?
Yes. Owners can disable any non-mandatory module under Settings → Modules. Disabled modules are hidden from the sidebar but their data is preserved if you re-enable later.
Where does Shifts data come from?
Data is created either manually from the in-app forms, imported via CSV, ingested through the Easedesk API, or auto-generated from other modules (for example, journal entries created automatically when an invoice is posted).
