Common questions

Is there any limit on employees or volunteers?

No. Full access is free for your entire roster โ€” paid staff and volunteers alike, no cap, no matter how large your agency grows.

We use a mix of paid and volunteer staff. Does that work?

Yes. Combination departments are common. Manage both groups in the same account with different permissions โ€” neither counts against any kind of limit.

Can we track 24-hour shifts?

Yes. The scheduling system handles any shift length, including 24-on/48-off and 48-on/96-off rotations. Shifts can span midnight and are reported correctly in payroll exports.

We don't have a .gov email. Can we still apply?

Yes. We also accept verification via state fire marshal department listings, county emergency management registries, or a signed letter on department letterhead from the chief or director.

Is our data secure?

Yes. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest. The platform uses role-based access โ€” employees see only their own data; supervisors see their teams. Full audit log for FLSA compliance.

Your agency protects the community. We've got your back.
