Security guard roster software for 24/7 posts
Every post covered around the clock
A guard roster is really a list of posts, each with a headcount for every hour of the day. Describe them that way: the main gate needs two guards at all times, the lobby one guard from 07:00 to 19:00, patrols run in 8-hour or 12-hour shifts. Weekeye turns each post into a position with its own coverage requirement, and the scheduler validates the board before it proposes it. A night with an unmanned gate shows up as a gap on the draft, not as an incident report the next morning.
One roster across several sites
Security companies rarely staff a single location. Sites and posts become positions in one organization, and the scheduler builds one coherent roster across all of them, so a guard is never booked at two sites at the same hour and every guard's shifts are counted across all sites. Post requirements, such as an armed licence at one site, stay attached to the post, and only guards who meet them are placed there. When a client adds a post or changes its hours, you update the description and generate the next board.
Rest, nights and fair rotations
In round-the-clock work, rest rules are the first thing to break when a board is built by hand. Minimum hours between shifts, a weekly cap and a limit on consecutive nights are stated once and enforced on every draft. Nights, weekends and unpopular posts are balanced across the team, so the same guards are not always on the night shift, and you can pin an exception for a guard who prefers fixed nights. Each guard gets a personal roster on their phone, with a notification the moment a post changes hands.
Frequently asked questions
Can one roster cover several sites and posts?
Yes. Sites and posts are positions with their own coverage requirement, and the scheduler builds one coherent roster across all of them.
How are fair rotations handled?
Nights, weekends and unpopular posts are balanced across the team automatically; you can pin exceptions for specific guards.
Is there a free trial?
You can build your organization and generate a roster as a guest without signing up. Create an account only to save and share it.
Can a guard be placed only at posts they are licensed for?
Yes. Requirements such as an armed licence or a site-specific qualification are part of the post. The scheduler places only guards who meet them, so a post that needs a licence is never filled by someone without one. You can mention the requirement in your first description or add it to the post later.
What happens when a guard calls in sick before a night shift?
Mark the guard as unavailable, and Weekeye repairs the affected shifts with available, qualified replacements while the rest of the board stays untouched. The replacement still has to satisfy your rest and licence rules, and the guards involved get a notification on their phone, so the shift is covered without a round of calls in the middle of the night.
Can guards swap shifts with each other?
Yes, through the app. A guard requests a swap, a manager approves it, and the scheduler checks the result against your rules. The approved swap updates the published roster and notifies the guards involved, so the board on screen is always the one actually being worked at the posts.
