Feature
Shift Policies
Enforce different rules automatically based on each worker's assigned shift.
Quick Summary
Shift Policies tie internet governance directly to a worker's assigned shift, activating automatically when the shift begins and lifting automatically when it ends — so enforcement always matches the real work schedule, not a fixed clock.
Business Problem
Work shifts vary by role, team, and time of day, but a written acceptable-use policy doesn't know what shift is active — it applies, or doesn't, the same way regardless of whether a worker is on the clock.
Feature Overview
Shift Policies tie internet governance directly to a worker's assigned shift. Policy activates automatically when the shift begins and lifts automatically when it ends, so enforcement always matches the actual work schedule rather than depending on someone remembering to switch it on or off.
Business Benefits
No manual toggling
Enforcement follows the schedule automatically — nobody has to remember to turn it on or off.
Different rules for different roles
Different groups can run different shift-based policies, so floor staff, reception, and field roles are each governed appropriately.
Always current with schedule changes
Shift changes made in the admin portal take effect on the next sync, without reinstalling anything on the device.
How It Works
Policy activates with the shift
Policy activates automatically when a worker's shift begins and lifts when it ends.
Group-specific policy
Different groups can run different policies, so different roles are governed appropriately.
Schedule updates sync automatically
Shift changes and schedule updates made in the admin portal take effect on the next sync.
Deployment
Configured in the admin portal
Shifts and their associated policies are set up centrally, with no per-device configuration.
No enrollment required
Works on personal devices without MDM enrollment.
Combines with site and department policy
Runs through the same Policy Engine as Site and Department Policies.

Privacy
Like every Cyber Pulse capability, Shift Policies runs inside the same privacy architecture: no message content, call logs, GPS location, photos, files, or keystrokes are ever collected — only domain-level enforcement metadata.
FAQ
What are Shift Policies?
Shift Policies automatically apply internet governance rules based on a worker's assigned work shift, activating when the shift starts and lifting when it ends.
Why use Shift Policies?
Because enforcement should match the actual work schedule, not run on a fixed clock or require manual toggling by a supervisor.
Who benefits from Shift Policies?
Any organization with shift-based or rotating schedules — manufacturing, retail, healthcare, logistics, and similar front-line operations.
How is this different from a fixed daily policy?
A fixed policy applies the same hours to everyone. Shift Policies apply per the worker's actual assigned shift, which can vary by day, role, or team.
When should Shift Policies be used?
Whenever a workforce operates on shifts rather than a single fixed schedule.
Key Takeaways
- Policy activates and lifts automatically with the shift — no manual toggling.
