Klacks schedules front of house, kitchen, and housekeeping under the UK Working Time Regulations — with the 48-hour average limit over 17 weeks (26 weeks in tourism peaks), the 11-hour rest period, and compensatory rest after shift changes.
Lunch and dinner service with a break in between: split shifts are the norm — and they raise rest-period and scheduling questions that are nearly impossible to coordinate cleanly by hand.
The Working Time Regulations cap weekly working time at an average of 48 hours over 17 weeks — 26 weeks in tourism peak periods. Keeping track across seasonal peaks is barely doable without a system.
Seasonal peaks, temporary staff, and changing availability: the staffing mix shifts weekly, yet the schedule still has to be right.
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 automatically averages weekly hours over the chosen reference period — 17 or 26 weeks — and warns before the 48-hour limit tips over.
The 11-hour rest period is monitored in real time; for shift-change exceptions Klacks ensures the required compensatory rest is made up — blocking outright if desired.
Klacks calculates night, Sunday, and public-holiday premiums automatically — configurable per country and rule set, with no manual rework in payroll preparation.
Shifts are only filled by staff with the right qualification — Klacks warns about expiring certifications before they become a problem.
“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 rest-period and maximum-working-time limits.
