Period workflow
Open, publish, and close rosters with explicit guardrails. Reopening is controlled and traceable.

DutyCheck
Duty rosters for shift-driven teams. Periods, conflict rules, and the draft → published → closed lifecycle are enforced server-side. A published roster matches the authoritative state on the server — including audit snapshots.
What it does
DutyCheck splits planning into clear lifecycle steps — open, published, closed — so the right people see the right roster at the right time, and you have a clean record afterwards.
Conflict rules
Overlaps, rest periods, and policy checks are enforced server-side. The UI shows conflicts; the backend has the final say.
Role-aware views
Planner and employee views — each sees what they need, with optional per-location planner scope.
Absence requests
Request and review absences directly in the app, alongside the schedule itself.
Audit snapshots
Evidence snapshots show exactly what was published and when. Useful when a customer or auditor asks later.
Optional time-tracking link
Mirror absences into ArbeitszeitCheck when it is installed (optional, switchable in settings).
Built for security services
Designed against real workflows for security and shift-driven service companies — but applicable wherever rosters need to be auditable.
Accessibility
Targets WCAG 2.1 AA: full keyboard navigation, screen-reader-friendly markup, responsive layout from 320 px.

DutyCheck Mobile (optional)
The web app stays free (AGPL). The official phone app is for organisations that want staff to view and acknowledge the duty roster on their phone. List price: €5 per user / year, from €25 / year for up to five users (invoice and licence key). Android; not yet publicly listed on the Play Store — the web app covers roster operations. No iOS, no Terminal SKU.
