New Zealand roster language
Generic calendar apps give you "Day / Night / Other." ShiftFlowr auto-detects that you're in New Zealand and shows the shift names and leave types that match NZ employment law — not a generic list from the other side of the world.
You choose the exact words your employer uses. Change them anytime in Settings. Your roster, your way.
| Shift | Also called | Typical hours |
|---|---|---|
| Morning Shift | Day Shift, Early | 6 am – 2 pm or 7 am – 3 pm |
| Arvo Shift | Afternoon Shift, Late | 2 pm – 10 pm or 3 pm – 11 pm |
| Night Shift | Late Shift, Graveyard | 10 pm – 6 am or 11 pm – 7 am |
| 12-hour Days | D-shift | 6 am – 6 pm or 7 am – 7 pm |
| 12-hour Nights | N-shift | 6 pm – 6 am or 7 pm – 7 am |
| Alternative Holiday | Day in lieu | Owed when working a Public Holiday |
NZ public holidays
New Zealand has 12 national public holidays plus regional anniversary days. ShiftFlowr lets you mark any day as a Statutory Holiday and log whether you worked it — so you never lose track of your alternative holiday entitlement.
If you work on a public holiday that's your normal working day, you're entitled to an Alternative Holiday. ShiftFlowr logs the work day and the day-in-lieu separately so you always know what you're owed.
