Mobile Schedule Compliance
Quinyx offers Schedule Compliance validations for the mobile app and the web portal. Whether you are creating a shift or swapping one from your phone, the system automatically checks your actions against your organization’s configured labor rules.
Why this matters
- Consistency: Rules are now enforced identically across all platforms - web and mobile.
- Risk Mitigation: Prevents accidental violations of labor laws or collective agreements during quick mobile edits.
- Clear Expectations: Employees receive immediate feedback if a requested action (like a shift swap) violates a rule.
How rules behave on mobile
The way a rule behaves depends on its Severity Level. Use the table below to understand what managers and employees will see when a rule is triggered on the mobile app.
Rule severity | Manager experience | Employee experience |
Silent | No warning is shown. | No warning is shown. |
Warning | Show overridable warning. The manager can proceed after acknowledging the alert. | Show non-overridable warning. The action is blocked and sent to the manager for approval. |
Non-overridable | Show non-overridable warning. The action is blocked entirely. | Show non-overridable warning. The action is blocked entirely. |
Archived | No warning is shown; the rule is inactive. | No warning is shown; the rule is inactive. |
Key actions validated
Schedule Compliance on mobile monitors several common activities, including:
- Shift Creation: Ensures new shifts don't violate rest periods or max hours.
- Shift Swaps: Validates that the person taking the shift is eligible and compliant.
- General Edits: Any modification to an existing shift is checked against the configured rule set.
Pro-tip for admins
If you find that employees are frequently blocked from necessary actions on mobile, review your Rule Severity settings. Changing a rule from "Non-Overridable" to "Warning" for managers allows for more operational flexibility while still flagging potential issues.
