TrackTik SHIFT is a mobile app that was created for employees in the security industry to provide them with greater visibility on their schedule as well as a more direct way of receiving new and updated schedules. The app allows officers to view scheduled shifts, clock in and out for assigned shifts and breaks, pick up open shifts, view their availability and acknowledge shifts in a few easy clicks. Disclaimer: TrackTik SHIFT is an employee app that is used in conjunction with TrackTik’s Scheduling module. TrackTik SHIFT can use GPS capabilities in order to ensure officers are clocking in and out in a predetermined, approved geo-fenced area that aligns with their assigned shift. When an officer clocks out for breaks or for the end of their shift, GPS tracking is no longer enabled.
