How it works

How the employee shift scheduler works.

When required staffing, days off, locked assignments, weekly shift limits, and consecutive-day limits interact, one change can create another problem elsewhere.

Instead of rebuilding every assignment from zero, start with a reviewable first draft.
01

Enter the rules that matter

Set required staffing, days off, locked assignments, weekly shift limits, and consecutive workday limits.

02

Create the first draft automatically

Select Run. The scheduler combines the entered rules and works to keep assignments as balanced as those rules allow.

03

Review, edit, and run again

Check staffing levels and assignments, edit the grid, and select Run again when the information changes.

Employees in rows Dates in columns Edit in the grid

Employees stay in rows and dates stay in columns, reducing the need to learn a completely different scheduling workflow.

Nothing becomes final until the manager reviews it. The scheduler creates a starting point; the manager decides what becomes the schedule.

Product fit

Employee scheduling app vs. spreadsheet vs. workforce suite.

Excel works for simple schedules. Choose more help only when the rules and repeated adjustments have become difficult to manage.

Simple schedules

Spreadsheet

A spreadsheet may be enough when few rules need to be checked.

  • Flexible table
  • Mostly manual schedule building
Broader administration

Full workforce suite

A broader system may fit when scheduling must be combined with payroll, attendance, and wider workflows.

  • Payroll or time tracking
  • Broader workforce administration

FAQ

Questions before you start

Current scope, direct answers.

What does this employee scheduling app create automatically?

It creates a first employee shift schedule draft from required staffing, days off, locked assignments, weekly shift limits, and consecutive-day limits. You review and edit the result before deciding whether to use it.

What scheduling rules can I enter?

The Standard Edition supports required staffing, days off or unavailable days, locked assignments, weekly shift limits, and consecutive workday limits. Locked is the label used in the grid for an assignment that should stay in place.

Is the first schedule draft random?

No. The draft is created from the staffing needs and work rules entered in the app. The scheduler also works to keep assignments as balanced as those rules allow.

Can I edit the draft and run the scheduler again?

Yes. Edit assignments directly in the spreadsheet-like grid, then select Run again to create a new draft from the updated information.

Does the Standard Edition import Excel files?

No. Excel-like describes the familiar grid layout. The Standard Edition does not support Excel import.

What is included in the free beta?

The free beta supports up to 20 employees, schedule-draft creation, manager review and manual editing, running the scheduler again after changes, and CSV export.

What kind of schedule does it create?

The Standard Edition creates month- or week-view staff assignment drafts. It is focused on creating and revising schedules rather than payroll or time tracking.
