Frequently asked questions

Does the template handle split shifts?
Yes. Each cell lets you mark AM, PM, or Split (S) — the hours calculation treats the split as AM + PM with the mandatory rest in between.
Is it valid for hospitality regulations?
The template includes the standard hospitality rest periods (10h between shifts, 1.5 days of weekly rest). If your local regulation is more restrictive, adjust the warnings in the 'Settings' tab.
What happens when my team grows?
Excel breaks down past ~10 employees or multiple services. Qadra automates generation, validates compliance, handles shift swaps, and notifies the team on mobile — everything the template can't do.
