Update Pro handles the contracts and payroll of your flexible workers in Belgium, while you keep planning them in Shyfter as usual. As a preferred partner of Shyfter, Update Pro synchronizes 100 % of your flexible workers with your schedules, smoothly and transparently.

Many Belgian employers rely on the same faces every week: students on weekends, flexi-jobs for busy evenings, extras for big events. Managing a contract for each of those shifts, then paying everyone correctly, is heavy work. This page explains what Update Pro does, how it works with Shyfter and who it is for.

What Update Pro is and who it serves

Update Pro is a Belgian payroll office dedicated to flexible workers only: students, flexi-jobs, extras and other daily contracts. It handles the contracts and the payroll of those workers on behalf of the employer.

Update Pro does not recruit. You bring the people, and Update Pro takes care of the administration. This makes it a good fit for operators with a stable pool of flexible workers who do not want to set up their own temp agency. Your workers stay yours: Update Pro does not share them with other employers.

Shyfter is the workforce management software for shift-based teams, with scheduling, time tracking and payroll preparation in one place. Update Pro is one of its preferred partners.

Why use Update Pro payroll for flexible workers with Shyfter

Flexible work is flexible for everyone except the person doing the paperwork. Each daily contract has to match a shift. Each shift can change at the last minute. And each worker expects to be paid on time and correctly.

When scheduling and payroll for flexible workers live in different places, the same information is entered several times: once in the schedule, once for the contract, once for the payroll. With Update Pro and Shyfter working together:

• you plan your flexible workers in Shyfter, like the rest of the team;
• the shift data feeds the right contract for each worker;
• validated hours and breaks flow back into your monthly closing;
• payment and invoicing are handled by Update Pro.

You keep one schedule and one source of truth for hours worked.

Use cases by industry

Restaurants and bars

Restaurants and bars often rely on a stable group of students and flexi-jobs for evenings and weekends. Planning them in Shyfter and letting Update Pro handle their contracts removes a large share of the weekly administration.

Events

In events, extras are called in for one day or one weekend. With shift data feeding the contracts, each extra gets the right contract for the right day, and payment follows without a separate spreadsheet.

Catering

Catering businesses build a team for each order, often with the same trusted extras. Planning them in Shyfter and leaving contracts, payment and invoicing to Update Pro keeps each job simple to staff and simple to pay.
