CheckpointGuardDoes CheckpointGuard include scheduling?
Yes. The admin dashboard includes schedule windows and workflows for planning guard shifts.
Security guard scheduling software connected to attendance.
Build the weekly roster, review site coverage and compare planned shifts with recorded work. Prepare approved hours for guard-pay and labour-cost review without rebuilding the schedule in a separate spreadsheet.

Build and adjust the weekly roster
Select the week, assign guards to sites and review coverage before sharing the schedule. Filter by guard or site when handling an absence or a changed requirement. The weekly schedule screenshot below shows the actual planning workspace.
Review an automatic scheduling proposal
Use Auto Schedule to propose coverage around configured requirements, availability, rest rules, cost, stability and fairness. Review the proposal and its exceptions before accepting it. A generated roster still needs a supervisor's check against the operation's requirements.
Compare the plan with attendance
Review the shift alongside recorded time and attendance entries. Investigate missing or unexpected time before approving payable hours. The monthly attendance view keeps daily entries available for review rather than reducing everything immediately to one total.
Prepare labour-cost figures
Approved time and configured pay rules support employee, site and sector cost review. Use those figures for operational planning and payroll preparation. Confirm the final payroll treatment in the organisation's payroll process; a schedule alone is not proof that every hour was worked.
Build and review a weekly guard schedule
Use one site's real coverage requirements for your first scheduling demonstration. A proposed roster needs supervisor review before it becomes the team's working plan.
- Define the shifts the site needs and the guards eligible to cover them.
- Enter availability, rest requirements and configured pay rules before generating an auto-scheduling proposal.
- Review uncovered shifts, conflicts, cost and fairness. Adjust the proposal where operational knowledge requires it.
- Confirm the schedule and share the updated assignments. After the shift, review recorded attendance before approving payable time.
Keep planned hours separate from payable hours
Illustrative example: a guard is scheduled from 22:00 to 06:00, but the recorded start is 22:12. Those two records answer different questions. The supervisor investigates the discrepancy and applies the organisation's configured rules; scheduled hours should not silently become approved pay.
| Record | Question to resolve |
|---|---|
| Scheduled shift | What coverage was planned? |
| Recorded attendance | What start and finish events were received? |
| Patrol and messages | What context explains a discrepancy? |
| Approved payable time | What time has the supervisor accepted under the configured rules? |
Customer workflow: scheduling across partner teams
Staunch Security Management uses automatic scheduling together with live operations, recurring client reports and Aegis-assisted review across internal and partner teams. Its implementation story explains how those teams coordinate their scheduling and reporting workflows.
Check one overnight shift before planning the whole week
Use a test site with coverage from 22:00 to 06:00 and two eligible guards. Enter their availability, generate a proposal and inspect which guard covers the shift. If a guard is unavailable, change the input and review the resulting coverage instead of assuming the proposal can satisfy every constraint.
- Check the site, shift date and overnight end time in Weekly Schedule.
- Open Auto Schedule and review availability, rest and coverage requirements.
- Review any uncovered work or conflicts before accepting the proposal.
- After the shift, compare attendance with the planned eight hours. A patrol event at 22:12 alone is not evidence that payable work started at 22:12.
Scheduling package and setup requirements
Scheduling and Time & Attendance are included in Gold and Platinum. Gold for 1-3 guards is EUR 65.33 per month billed annually (EUR 784.00 per year), or EUR 77.00 billed monthly, excluding VAT. Enter site coverage and guard availability first. Automatic proposals need supervisor review and depend on the rules and information you supply.
Handle a replacement without losing the overnight requirement
Continue the illustrative 22:00–06:00 example above: if the assigned guard becomes unavailable, review the replacement's availability and the site's full overnight coverage before changing the roster. Check the start date and the finish on the following day, then inspect any remaining gap or conflict. An automatic proposal is a planning aid, not confirmation that a guard accepted or completed the work.
After the shift, compare recorded attendance with the eight scheduled hours and investigate exceptions before pay preparation. Keep the coverage decision, attendance review and configured cost calculation distinct. The existing weekly schedule, Auto Schedule and attendance views support different stages of that review; no single screenshot or patrol scan replaces all three.

FAQ
Does CheckpointGuard calculate the amount payable to guards?
It calculates guard pay from recorded hours and configured guard or location hourly rates, shows monthly totals and exports payroll data to Excel. Admin review remains part of the workflow.
Does CheckpointGuard submit statutory payroll filings or make bank payments?
No. The verified implementation does not submit ERGANI, Digital Employment Card, APD or e-EFKA records, file taxes, execute bank payments or replace a payroll accountant.
Why connect scheduling with patrol tracking?
Because supervisors need to compare who was scheduled, who was active, what happened during the shift, and what should be reviewed for payroll or reports.
Is scheduling the same as attendance?
No. The schedule shows who should work. Time & Attendance records and reviews who actually worked.
Where are guard costs shown?
The separate Guard Pay & Labour Cost area turns approved work into the financial totals available in the represented release.
