By the time the attorney calls, it's already too late to build your record.

SafeShift is on. The lights come back.
Real-Time Employee Connection
Every message becomes evidence you did the right thing.
The moment a break is due, SafeShift texts the employee and logs it — time-stamped, undeniable. If something's wrong, you get a push notification instantly.

Built for Your Industry
Same wage & hour risk. Different battlefield.
Every employer with hourly W-2 employees is exposed — in every state. SafeShift adapts to your industry and applies your state's rules, with the deepest coverage where laws bite hardest, like California.
Wage Order 5
Restaurants, cafés & bars
The most-sued industry in wage & hour law. Split shifts, tip pools, minors on staff, and back-of-house chaos make gaps inevitable — unless documentation runs itself.
Auto-deducted meal breaks that never actually happened
Split-shift premiums missed at close-out
Buddy punching and off-the-clock prep work
How SafeShift fits
Toast & Square POS sync — no double clock-in
SMS break reminders in English & Spanish
Live PAGA liability calculator
Tip-pool-ready shift close-out reports
Wage Orders 4 & 5
Home health, senior living & clinics
Twelve-hour shifts, on-call coverage, and patient-care exceptions make healthcare break law uniquely dangerous. Plaintiff firms know it — and they're filing.
Upload your own forms — TB tests, licenses, care plans
Credential expiry alerts at 30/14/7/3 days
Scheduling built in — no POS required
No POS? No problem. SafeShift includes its own scheduling, geofenced clock-in, and payroll export.
Wage Order 14 · AB 1066
Farms, growers & ag operations
Since AB 1066, farmworkers earn daily overtime after 8 hours — same as everyone else. Add heat-illness rules and piece-rate math, and agriculture is the next PAGA frontier.
Daily overtime after 8 hours — many payrolls still miss it
SMS reminders reach crews in the field — any phone
Cool-down & recovery breaks logged with timestamps
Upload your own forms — crew sheets, safety training
Scheduling + clock-in built in — no POS required
No POS? No problem. SafeShift includes its own scheduling, geofenced clock-in, and payroll export.
Flat-Rate & Piece-Rate Rules
Auto repair, body shops & dealerships
Flat-rate pay is a plaintiff attorney's favorite target. California requires rest breaks and non-productive time to be paid separately from piecework — and most shops have zero paper trail proving it.
Flat-rate techs' rest breaks not separately paid (Lab. Code §226.2)
Unpaid time between repair orders and waiting for parts
Wage statements that don't itemize piece-rate hours correctly
How SafeShift fits
Rest & recovery breaks logged with timestamps
Geofenced clock-in for the shop floor
Upload your own forms — certs, tool policies, safety sheets
Scheduling + payroll export built in — no POS required
No POS? No problem. SafeShift runs on its own scheduling, clock-in, and payroll export.
AB 701 · Quota Law
Warehouses, logistics & distribution
Under AB 701, production quotas can never interfere with meal or rest breaks — and employees can demand your quota records. Rounding time punches no longer holds up in California. Documentation is the only defense left.
Quotas that squeeze out breaks — an automatic AB 701 violation
Time-punch rounding that courts no longer accept
Unpaid security screenings and pre-shift walk time
How SafeShift fits
To-the-second break records — no rounding, ever
SMS reminders reach every shift, every language
Overtime alerts before the double-shift trap
One-click PDF & CSV export when records are demanded
No POS? No problem. SafeShift runs on its own scheduling, clock-in, and payroll export.
Wage Order 7 · Mercantile
Grocery, markets & retail stores
Cut shifts, on-call scheduling, and cashiers on their feet all day — retail generates claims most owners have never heard of until the letter arrives.
Reporting-time pay owed when shifts get cut short
"Suitable seating" PAGA claims for standing registers
Predictive-scheduling ordinances (like LA Fair Work Week) with their own penalties
How SafeShift fits
Schedule changes logged with timestamps — proof for scheduling rules
Break reminders across split and closing shifts
Works with Square — or fully standalone
Onboarding docs e-signed — retained up to 7 years
Franchise & Multi-Unit Operators
Multi-location groups
One manager's mistake at one location can become a claim covering every employee at every site. When policies live in binders and records live in five different systems, you can't prove anything — anywhere.
Same policy, applied differently at every location
Records scattered across POS systems, spreadsheets and paper
One weak location exposes the entire ownership group
How SafeShift fits
Every location in one dashboard — roll-up compliance view
✓ Every plan includes all platform features — payroll and SMS billed separately, no other fees

Common Questions
Everything you need to know.
Yes. SafeShift syncs directly with Toast, Square, and Clover — with SpotOn and more available on request — so employees keep clocking in exactly the way they do today. No double clock-in, no new hardware.
Absolutely. SafeShift includes its own scheduling, geofenced mobile clock-in, and payroll export. Healthcare agencies, farms, offices, and field crews run entirely on the built-in tools — no POS needed.
You export your complete, time-stamped compliance record in one click — every reminder sent, every break confirmed, every premium paid. That documentation is exactly what AB 2288's "all reasonable steps" penalty reduction looks for. (SafeShift provides records, not legal advice — bring them to your attorney.)
Yes. SafeShift runs in any state: federal FLSA rules everywhere, plus state-specific break, overtime, and tip profiles where they apply — with the deepest coverage where laws bite hardest, like California. The same time records, attestations, and evidence trail protect you wherever you operate.
Yes. Through our ADP partnership, SafeShift offers full-service payroll — direct deposit, tax filings, and itemized wage statements — with your tracked hours, overtime, and break premiums flowing in automatically. Payroll is priced separately from your subscription; ask for a quote in your demo.
At the end of each shift, the employee confirms on the clock station or their phone that they received their meal and rest breaks — or flags that they didn't, so you can fix it that same day. Each attestation is signed, timestamped, and stored. In a wage claim, a shift-by-shift record of employee confirmations is among the strongest evidence an employer can have.

Only you and the managers you authorize. Data is encrypted with AES-256 at rest and in transit, and records are retained per legal retention schedules — up to 7 years where required.
