How does Shifts help with employee scheduling?
After you start using Shifts for scheduling, here are the key features
that make shift planning simple and effective
Create shifts
Easily create shifts: quickly copy individual shifts or an entire week, and use templates for recurring scenarios. Publish shifts only when they’re ready, so you don’t clutter the schedule or confuse your team.
Tasks
Add detailed descriptions to each shift, use custom fields for extra context, and attach checklists for clarity and convenience—so nothing gets overlooked.
Availability
See when employees are available before assigning shifts. Avoid conflicts, respect time-off, and keep workloads balanced.
Open shifts
Post open shifts for employees to claim. Fill schedule gaps quickly and stay flexible. Staff can also see who else is working that day if they’d like to team up with specific colleagues.
Drop & Swap
Employees can drop shifts they can’t work or swap with teammates. Managers approve changes to keep coverage intact and operations smooth.
Preferences
Admins have flexible settings that help automate processes and speed up scheduling while still keeping control to prevent chaos.
Insights
Easily view daily totals: scheduled hours, actual hours worked, labor costs, and alignment with labor targets set for the day.
Schedule resources
Manage not only people but also rooms, vehicles, or equipment. Keep everything scheduled in one place and avoid double-booking.
