Employee scheduling software helps users create and manage employee schedules. It can also automate the scheduling process and staffing adjustments, optimize schedules, assign shifts, and track coverage. Even more advanced employee scheduling software (like HR for Health) includes tools that help you stay compliant and manage employee PTO and other types of leave.

Employee scheduling is key to running modern organizations. Here are five key reasons why that’s so: Efficiency: When employees know their work hours, responsibilities, and where they need to go, it all happens faster and better Attendance Management: Clear expectations and visibility into tardiness and missed shifts helps management take the appropriate action to solve the issue Shift Management: For any business with employees that don’t do the simple 9-5 at the same desk every day, scheduling helps ensure there are no overlaps, missed shifts, or arguments about shift timing Fairness: With full visibility and record-keeping, managers can ensure that leaves have been dealt with fairly and consistently Overtime: Scheduling systems allow managers to allocate and track overtime hours, keeping pay, compliance, and other issues under control

Employee scheduling isn’t our only time tracking tool. We offer a full suite of supercharged Time and Efficiency Tools, and they all integrate together. Highlights include our Time Clock, Time Off Request Management, and clear and easy Employee Dashboard.

You can schedule as many employees as you need with HR for Health! As long as they’re all properly set up in the system, you’ll be able to manage your whole practice right from the platform.

Most practices start with an Excel doc with a basic table of shifts. As they grow, they might consider switching to a free employee scheduling app. Most of today’s strongest and most innovative practices use an employee scheduling app that integrates with the rest of their HR software. It reduces admin time and automates a lot of the shift management and compliance work that can lead to wasted hours or empty shifts.As you schedule your employees, try to be considerate of any personal needs (like not scheduling over daycare pickup), schedule to strengths (like pairing inexperienced employees with good teachers), and plan ahead for any PTO or other kinds of leave on the horizon.

You bet. Our employee scheduler is integrated with our Time Clock and Compliance tools to make sure your employees are getting the meal and rest breaks they need when they need them.

You’re starting to feel a bit overwhelmed with managing employee schedules manually. But how do you know that feeling is turning into a need? Here are three key metrics you can track to make sure you know it’s time. Tardiness and absences: These can be signs of communication errors or lack of notice Decreased productivity: Misallocated resources, like having too many or too few employees on each shift, can dramatically lower productivity per employee Higher turnover: If employees feel like they’re overstretched, don’t have enough supervision, or aren’t having their time requests heard, they’ll leave

Staff scheduling apps start by making your managers’ lives easier and freeing up their time to focus on improving your practice. But they make life better for your practice as a whole, too. They make your practice more efficient, on-time, consistent, fair, and compliant. Pretty good for a software feature!
