A shift calendar is useful when it reflects the roster you actually work. Shift Master helps you organise shifts, days off, overtime entries and reminders. This guide explains a simple monthly planning routine rather than assuming one roster pattern fits every workplace.
Start with the confirmed roster
Use your employer’s latest schedule as the source. Mark your A, B, C, G or OFF shifts in the monthly calendar, then review the first and last days of the month carefully. Bulk editing can save time for repeating patterns, but a pattern still needs checking against holidays, swaps and one-off assignments.
Record changes when they happen
After an approved shift swap, update the affected dates instead of relying on an old exported copy. Keep a clear distinction between a planned shift and overtime you have actually completed. A short review after each working week can help you catch missing entries while the details are still easy to remember.
Use estimates as a working reference
Shift Master includes overtime and salary estimate tools using inputs such as basic salary, month days and a multiplier. These inputs need to reflect your own workplace arrangement. Allowances, deductions, rounding and payroll rules can affect final pay. Compare estimates with your payslip and ask your payroll team about differences; the app does not establish an entitlement to a particular payment.
Set reminders and test them
Choose reminders that give you enough preparation time. If a notification does not appear, check notification permission and the app’s reminder settings. Device-level battery controls can also affect reminder delivery. Keep an independent way to check important shifts while troubleshooting.
Export and review
Export the monthly schedule as a PDF when you need a readable copy. Check the month and dates on the exported file, and remember that it is a snapshot: later changes in the app do not automatically update a file you already shared. The app’s shift records are stored on your device, so plan how you will preserve important records before clearing storage.
