Company settings
These six tabs cover the day-to-day configuration of your company — whether you're setting them up for the first time on a fresh install, or coming back to change something later.
General
Company name, timezone, week-start day, 12/24-hour time display, time-clock grace windows, how PTO days convert to hours, and (self-hosted) the Chat toggle — Chat is off by default for new companies.
Locations
Add each physical location your team works out of — name, and an optional address. Positions attach to a location, so add your locations first.
Holidays
Each location gets its own statutory holiday calendar, synced automatically. Choose whether mandatory and optional holidays show up right on the schedule for that location. Optional — nothing else depends on it.
Positions
A name, a location, and a color — the color is what shows up on the schedule for shifts in that position, so it's worth picking colors that are easy to tell apart at a glance.
Payroll
Your pay period type (weekly, biweekly, semimonthly, or monthly), the pay period anchor date, and your overtime threshold and multiplier. This is what Timesheets exports are built against.
Self-hosted only — Shifti Cloud manages this centrally, so there's no Email tab there. On self-hosted, add SMTP details here so employee invites and password resets send automatically. It's optional: without it, a new employee's temporary password is just shown on-screen for you to share directly, and self-service "forgot password" isn't available — a locked-out employee needs you to reset their password manually from Settings → Employees instead.
