Flex is our product for contractors - where workers claim shifts.

Boss is our product for employees -where workers are assigned shifts.

They're very similar products, but we can't tell contractors when to work - they pick - and we don't have compliance built in for contractors (mainly because they pick when they work).

For the events company - we have timezone support for each location. As you start to add locations with different timezones, Staffjoy begins to show more localization information to aid in scheduling.

We have been looking for a solution. Can you talk more about compliance?

Sure. For each role, you can set how many hours a person works in a workday (e.g. California limits 8 hours before overtime), and how many consecutive days they may work (e.g. California limits to 6 consecutive workdays in a workweek before overtime - we technically go beyond this and limit to 6 consecutive days independent of the window). For a worker, you may set how many hours per workweek they may work (e.g. 30-40 hours).

We define a workday as midnight to midnight, and you control the workweek start day when you create the trial.

Other nice-to-have features include that we try to give consecutive days off (like a weekend) when possible and we allow you to control the minimum amount of time between shifts to prevent "clopens" (e.g. when a worker closes at midnight then gets assigned the opening shift at 7am).

If you have more detailed questions, I'm happy to answer them via email too (philip at staffjoy)

Thanks Philip, rying to set up workers to roles, but kept on getting an error

Hi Ray, Thank you for reporting this. A fix is on its way out and should be live shortly.
