[New] Introducing Square Shifts

[#1]

Square is now offering a stand-alone labor management subscription called Square Shifts, which allows you to easily manage your team with POS-integrated time tracking, tip-management solutions, scheduling, and payroll prep. Shifts features were previously available only through Square Team Management. Breaking out Shifts features provides more optionality, so you can subscribe only to the products you need. Square Shifts offers two subscriptions, depending on your team size. Shifts Free, available for teams of five employees or less, offers basic scheduling, time tracking, and payroll prep, while Shifts Plus offers advanced features such as tip pooling, cash tip tracking, team member-initiated shift swapping, and more. Shifts Plus features are included in the Team Plus, Square for Restaurants Plus, Square for Retail Plus, and Square Appointments Premium subscriptions. 

Note: If you are already actively using the free labor-management features through Square Team Management, you will need to select a new Shifts plan. You have until January 31, 2023, to do so. Until then, you will continue to have access to these features in the current Square Team Management product. Learn more about the new Shifts plan and make your selection in Square Dashboard.
