A split shift is a work schedule where employees' daily working hours are divided into two or more separate sessions with longer break hours. Split shifts benefit managers by providing flexibility in scheduling, better coverage during busy hours, and efficient resource allocation. This helps reduce overtime costs and accommodate individual employee preferences, leading to improved work-life balance and increased job satisfaction.

In greytHR, you can manage your team member's split shifts hassle-free. As a manager, you can:

Override split shift attendance.
1. Date wise
2. Employee wise
View split shift sign-in status.
View and re-assign team member's shift.
