Retail time tracking — multiple stores, 12h shifts

A chain of 5 shops, each with its own 7-22 roster, and HQ wants to see all staff at once. In TimeHunter each shop is a work group, and you filter attendance, the roster and reports by shop.

Several stores in one panel

TimeHunter has roles: company admin, manager and employee. Admins and managers see the whole company, employees only their own data. A chain creates a work group with working hours for each store, and HQ filters attendance, the roster and reports by group.

Work groups = stores

Each location is a separate group with its own hours and lateness tolerance.

Who is working now

A dashboard widget shows who is working, who is on a break and who is on leave. It refreshes automatically.

Covering at another store

For an employee covering at another store, add the shift to the roster for that day or change their group.

12h shifts, Sundays, night hours

A hypermarket open 7-22 = 15h day. Typically two 8h shifts: 7-15 and 14-22 (with 1h overlap). The period report shows night, Sunday and holiday hours in separate columns, plus overtime. Your payroll software calculates the premiums from this data.

Cashier without a smartphone? QR kiosk in the back

A common retail situation: not every employee has a smartphone. Solution: a QR kiosk — a used Android tablet or phone on the wall in the back office. The employee arrives, scans their QR (paper card), starts work. The kiosk also works without internet and sends the scans once the connection returns.

Export for payroll

At month end you download the period report as XLSX or PDF and a payroll CSV (employee, days worked, hours, overtime, breaks, leave and sick days). Payroll staff process the CSV further in their own payroll software. Companies in Czechia also get a ready export for the PREMIER payroll software.

Frequently asked questions

Can I manage multiple stores from one account?
Yes. Each store is a separate work group. Admins and managers see all stores and filter views by group.
How are Sunday and holiday hours billed?
The system recognizes the weekday and public holidays by the employee’s country (PL or CZ). The period report has separate columns: Sunday, holidays, night hours and overtime. Premium amounts are calculated in the payroll software.
Does it handle night hours?
Yes. The period report counts time worked at night separately and shows it in a “Night hours” column. The compliance module also warns when the permitted night-work length is exceeded.
Can employees swap shifts?
Yes. In the panel, under Requests, the employee proposes a swap with a chosen colleague. The colleague accepts, and the manager approves or rejects it.
Can I export to my payroll software?
Yes, as files. The period report downloads as XLSX and the payroll export as CSV (employee, days, hours, overtime, breaks, leave, sick days). For Czech companies there is a ready export for PREMIER; for other payroll software, the file is processed by your payroll staff.
Does it work in a shop without WiFi?
Yes — the Android QR kiosk works offline. Scans queue on the device and sync once WiFi/LTE returns. The employee app and web panel need internet.
How much for 5 stores × 8 staff = 40 users?
Example for the Start plan: €1.49 × 40 = €59.60 per month, excl. VAT. The number of stores (work groups) doesn’t affect the price.
