Templates, copy last week, publish – and Lumigast checks every shift against the Working Hours Act, minimum wage, the minijob limit and youth employment rules.
In many businesses, the rota is made on Sunday evening on paper or in a spreadsheet. Is the rest period after the late shift long enough? Will the minijobber go over the earnings limit? Is the apprentice scheduled on a vocational school day? Often nobody notices until the rota is already on the wall. Lumigast checks this while you schedule and tells you the reason before the rota is published.
What does it do for you?
Less planning time: templates and “Copy previous week” instead of starting from scratch every week
Mistakes show up while you schedule, not during an inspection – a traffic light with the reason for breaks, rest periods, maximum working hours, minimum wage and the minijob limit
Helps you with the rules for young workers, night work and short-term employment; if information is missing, the traffic light shows “cannot be checked” instead of green
Each version gets a number, and changes after publishing are logged – your team is notified
You see holidays and sickness in the rota; the posted rota does not show them
What does it look like?
Screenshots from Lumigast – with demo data, on a phone and on a computer.
The weekly rota on the phone: notes from the rule check, open slots, staff costs – and “Publish” at the top.
On a computer: all staff and days as a grid, split into kitchen and service.
How it works
01
Create shifts from templates or copy the previous week.
02
The traffic light checks every shift – red tells you the reason, for example a rest period that is too short.
03
Publish the rota: your team is notified and sees their shifts on their phones.
Who is it for?
For every business with shifts – from a café with three casual staff to a restaurant with kitchen, service and apprentices.
