Compliance checking is your HR co-pilot: it automatically checks your schedules against your obligations and flags the risk points before a labour inspection. Go to **Settings ⚙️ → HR → Compliance rules**.

> This feature is part of the Pro Pack. If you don't see it, your plan does not yet include it.

## Enabling the check

The **Enable compliance checking** switch turns the feature on: it makes the **Compliance** button appear in the schedule and applies the rules below when calculating the compliance score.

## Choosing the controls applied

Once checking is enabled, you tick the rules Shyfter must control. Depending on your country and your modules, these notably include:

- **Dimona**: check that a valid Dimona covers each relevant shift (Belgium, if the Dimona module is active).
- **Active contract**: check that a valid contract covers the employee on the date of the shift (if the Contracts module is active).
- **Legal breaks**: check that the mandatory breaks are properly scheduled.
- **Clocking-related controls**: for example a clocking without a break, a gap between planned and clocked, an overrun or a missing clocking.

Each enabled rule enters into the calculation of the compliance score shown in the schedule.

## The weekly report

You can set up a **weekly compliance report** sent by email, by defining the send time. This report summarises the week's non-compliance points, handy for keeping an eye on things without opening the application.

Don't forget to **Save** after your settings.
