Clock In On-Site. Swap Shifts On the Fly. Stay Compliant Always.
The Island Workforce Challenge
Managing employees across islands isn’t easy. Whether it’s a luxury resort, a bustling retail outlet, or a remote construction site, businesses in the Bahamas face unique challenges in keeping operations running smoothly. From tracking work hours on-site, handling overtime pay fairly, managing sudden shift changes, or ensuring your remote teams are actually where they say they are, traditional tools like spreadsheets and manual processes simply don’t hold up.
That’s where NextGen Workforce steps in.
Workforce Management That Fits The Bahamas
Imagine one cloud-based platform that brings everything together: time tracking, scheduling, leave management, geo-verification, alerts, and payroll preparation tailored to fit Bahamian labor laws and local business rhythms.
No matter your industry, employee count, or location, NextGen helps you build a workflow that saves time, prevents errors, and makes your team more accountable.
Let’s explore how it works.
Smarter Scheduling, Open Shifts, Shift Swapping
With NextGen, scheduling becomes effortless and flexible:
- Easily create weekly or monthly shift plans in just a few clicks — no complicated tools needed
- Assign fixed, rotating, or split shifts across departments or job sites
- Avoid under or over-scheduling — make sure the right people are assigned to every shift.
Open Shift Scheduling Made Simple
- Publish unassigned (open) shifts that employees can view and claim directly from their app
- Employees feel empowered, while you stay in control of who picks up extra hours
Shift Swaps Without the Chaos
- They can initiate a shift swap request in seconds
- Get real-time alerts and can approve with just one tap
- For added control, use multi-level approval workflows for critical roles
Real-Time Sync, Full Visibility
- All changes reflect instantly across the system — on mobile, web, and manager dashboards
- View shift history, swap approvals, and scheduling audits for full compliance and accountability
Accurate Time Tracking—Wherever Employees Work
With NextGen, your team members can sign in using the method that aligns best with their position and location:
- Biometric scan at the main gate
- Kiosk punch from a shared on-site terminal
- Mobile clock-in from job sites or remote locations
Real-Time Sync
- Instantly synced to the cloud
- Logged with time, location, and method
- Visible to managers in real-time
No guesswork. No delays.
Smarter with Geo-Fencing
- Define approved job locations where employees are allowed to punch in
- Block punches from outside the designated zone
- Auto clock-out employees who leave the area without punching
- Send real-time alerts to managers for any violations
Geo-Fencing & Violation Alerts: Know Where Work Happens
NextGen’s built-in GPS and geofencing tools give you complete control over where and how employees log time:
- Define virtual boundaries (geo-fences) around job sites or office locations
- Restrict clock-ins to within those approved perimeters
- Auto-clock-out employees when they leave the work zone without punching
- Send real-time alerts for geo-violations
- View violation logs for audit and reporting
- Detect repeat offenders or unusual patterns for proactive resolution
- Employees are actually where they’re supposed to be
- Mobile teams aren’t logging hours from unapproved locations
- Time theft, misreporting, and ghost punching are drastically reduced
Bahamian Labour Law Compliance

You also get complete visibility into:
- Leave balances
- Policy-based carry forwards
- Trends in absenteeism
