Plan and schedule employee shifts easily with our shift schedule plan and planning scheduling feature.

Introduction

Open Time Clock has a powerful shift scheduling feature. Shift scheduling is the process of assigning employees to shifts based on their availability and your company’s needs. For example, if you have several employees who work the same days of the week, it might make sense to group them together in order to reduce schedule overhead (such as creating new timesheets or generating payroll reports). In this guide we'll show you how easy it is to plan your employee shifts with our tool!

Shift scheduling

  • Create a shift schedule.
  • Schedule employees for a shift.
  • Schedule employees for multiple shifts.
  • Schedule employees for the entire week or month, depending on your business needs and preferences.
  • For example, if you have an employee who wants to work every day except Friday night during football season (when there are no games), use our shift scheduling feature to make sure that happens!

Employee time off requests

Employees can request time off for a specific date and time. Employees can also request time off for a specific number of hours, days, or weeks.

Employee requests for vacation or personal days are automatically approved (unless you have configured your account to require manager approval) if there are no conflicts with existing schedules or other employee requests already approved by you or other managers in the system.

Employee shift trade requests

Employee shift trade requests

Employees can request to trade shifts with other employees. You can also enable this feature so that employees can see which shifts are available to be traded, even if they're not currently working at that location. This is useful if you have a lot of employees who work in the same location and want them to work fewer hours and earn more money by trading shifts.

For example: Jane works at a restaurant where there are two other cashiers on staff besides her--Bob and Chris. When Jane logs into her account, she sees an offer from Bob asking her if she wants to trade shifts for tomorrow evening (which happens to be Valentine's Day). She responds yes because she doesn't want to spend Valentine's Day alone!

Employee signoffs

If you're the manager of a team, it's important that you have full visibility into your employees' schedules. ShiftPlanning makes this easy by allowing managers to sign off on employee shifts and time off requests. You can also approve or deny shift trade requests from your employees so they know whether or not their request has been accepted.

Open Time Clock has a powerful shift scheduling feature.

The shift scheduling feature is a powerful tool that allows you to create, edit and delete shifts. You can also use it to set up shift templates, patterns and rotations. This way, if you know in advance when certain employees are working or need to take breaks during their shifts, then this feature will help you plan for it all!

Conclusion

Open Time Clock is a powerful shift scheduling software. It allows you to plan, schedule and manage your employee schedules easily. The shift scheduling feature can be used by managers and employees alike to manage their time off requests, trade shifts or sign off on hours worked.
