  • Accurate finish times. Real clock-out times, with a grace flag if someone forgets, so late shifts are paid right.
  • Audited & dispute-proof. Every edit logged with a reason and visible to staff: disputes get a paper trail.
  • Holiday on the record. Balances and accrual tracked automatically, so "I’m owed days" becomes a number you both see.

The bits that make shift work hard

Midnight clock-outs

Nobody remembers the exact finish time when the shift ended at 1am.

Cover chaos

Shift swaps and cover by WhatsApp that never makes it onto the rota.

Holiday rows

Staff convinced they are owed days, with no shared record to settle it.

How WagePilot helps

Accurate finish times

Real clock-out times, with a grace flag if someone forgets, so late shifts are paid right.

Audited & dispute-proof

Every edit logged with a reason and visible to staff: disputes get a paper trail.

Holiday on the record

Balances and accrual tracked automatically, so "I’m owed days" becomes a number you both see.

Flat per site, staff free

Hire anyone you like. The bill never moves

No per-head fees means you can grow the team without watching a meter: one site stays at £10 whether you're 3 people or 30. Open another venue and it's a flat £8 more, never per person.

What you'd pay as your team grows: a typical per-seat tool vs WagePilot's flat price
Your team Typical per-seat tool WagePilot
5 staff ~£20/mo Free
10 staff ~£40/mo £10/mo
25 staff ~£100/mo £10/mo
50 staff ~£200/mo £18/mo

Per-seat figures assume a typical ~£4/user/month all-in rate (many tools sit £3–£6/user). Indicative, for illustration.

Pubs & bars: common questions

How does WagePilot handle a clock-out after midnight?
Shifts that cross midnight are handled correctly: the hours land on the right day and at the right rate. If someone forgets to clock out, the shift is flagged for you to set the real finish time before you approve the week.
Can I run more than one bar from a single pub site?
Yes. One venue is one site, however many bars or areas it has. Rota everyone on one grid and see them on one live board. Separate venues are separate sites (a flat £8/month each on Growth), with unlimited staff on every one.
How does it settle holiday disputes with bar staff?
Holiday balances and accrual are tracked automatically and visible to staff in the app, including the 12.07% rule for irregular hours. "I’m owed days" becomes a figure you both see, not an argument.
