Zoho Shifts is employee scheduling and time tracking software for businesses. Managers can create conflict-free schedules and follow attendance in real time, including who is working, on break, or late. They can manage time-off and shift requests, swaps, and open shifts, while built-in messaging supports direct messages, group chats, and announcement channels. GPS tagging and geofencing can be used to verify check-ins at job sites. Employees can use iOS or Android apps or web access. Schedules can sync with Google Calendar, Outlook, and Apple Calendar, though synchronization is one-way and unavailable on the Free plan. Zoho Analytics can sync shift, employee, time-off request, and time-entry data for custom reports; the REST API provides access to employees, shifts, time-off requests, and timesheets. The Free plan costs nothing and supports up to 25 users. Zoho describes billing as pay-as-you-go with no contract, with subscriptions that can be started or stopped at any time.
