Klacks schedules front of house, kitchen, and housekeeping under the labour law of the United Arab Emirates — with eight hours of normal working time plus a maximum of two overtime hours (Decree-Law 33/2021, Art. 17, 19), the 48-hour week, and the 50 percent premium for rest-day work (Art. 19, 28).
UAE labour law knows no minimum daily rest between shifts — only a break rule: after no more than five hours of work, at least a one-hour break is due (Art. 18). Scheduling discipline is therefore entirely up to the business.
Hotels in continuous operation may average up to 56 hours per week across shifts — capped at 144 hours over three weeks including overtime (Cabinet Resolution 1/2022, Art. 15). Averaging this correctly over weeks is hardly feasible by hand.
The 50 percent premium for overtime between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m. expressly does not apply to shift workers (Art. 19(3)) — anyone who doesn't separate this cleanly in the schedule pays too much or too little.
Klacks runs on-premise on your own infrastructure — ready in minutes via Docker.
Public holidays, surcharges and rest periods come preconfigured for your country — and you can adjust them anytime.
Klacks builds shift plans, flags conflicts and optimizes routes — with an AI assistant if you want.
From the early shift to the night shift — it all works together.
Klacks monitors the daily maximum of eight hours plus up to two overtime hours and the 48-hour week (Art. 17, 19) — every breach is flagged immediately.
One day off per week is mandatory (Art. 21). Anyone working on the rest day receives a compensatory rest day or a 50 percent premium (Art. 19(4), 28(2)) — Klacks tracks both cleanly.
Klacks calculates overtime, night, and rest-day premiums automatically — including the shift-worker exception for the night premium, configurable per rule set and with no manual rework.
At most two rest days in a row may be worked through (Art. 19(5)) — Klacks flags overlong work stretches before they end up in the schedule.
“Schedule the weekend, two servers are out sick” is enough — Klacksy recalculates everything.
If someone drops out, Klacks immediately shows who's qualified, available, and within break and maximum-working-time limits.
