This page controls what your employees can do from the Shyfter Staff mobile app in terms of HR. Each option is a switch that you enable according to your practices. Go to **Settings ⚙️ → HR → Shyfter Staff**, then click **Save**.

## Available options

- **Allow remote work**: your employees can indicate, from the mobile app, that they are working remotely.
- **Show the overtime counter in the app**: shows in real time, in Shyfter Staff, the employee's overtime counter.
- **Allow absence requests via the app**: your employees can submit their absence requests from the app and attach their supporting documents or medical certificates by scanning them.
- **Enable Shyfter Talk**: gives access to the Shyfter Talk messaging, on the web as on the mobile app. When disabled, the conversations are hidden everywhere.

## Good to know

These settings only affect what is offered to the employee in the app. They combine with your other HR settings: for example, the reasons offered in an absence request depend on the absence types you have made visible in the mobile app.
