New to Shiftly? Follow the quick start — the steps you need, in the order you need them, from day one.

You run a business on the Shiftly web platform. Work through these in order to go from a brand-new account to a published roster and approved pay.

Create your account

Sign up with email, Google or Xero and verify your email address. This is your login to the Shiftly web platform.

Set up your business

Enter your business details and choose the award that covers your team — every Shiftly account starts here. Then add your locations so you have somewhere to roster.

Create your positions

Add the roles you roster against — Barista, Bartender, Waitstaff — and tie each to an award classification so pay is worked out for you.

Add your employees

Add your staff, invite them to the Shiftly Me app, and classify them so Shiftly can estimate their pay.

Post your first shifts

Build your roster by adding shifts with a position, staff member, times and breaks — then publish to send it to your team.

Approve timesheets

Once shifts are worked, review the hours your staff actually clocked, check them against what you rostered, and approve them ready for pay.
