Manage Employee Schedules in a Breeze

An employee scheduling app allows you to easily assign shifts and notify employees of their schedules.

Digitalizing scheduling allows you to input data, such as time-off requests, and view the schedule according to job or employee to limit scheduling errors. Reassigning previous shifts is also a time saver.

With a good scheduling app, you can also communicate directly with your employees regarding each shift. Look for features such as adding a shift description, where you can add the location, specific tasks, and if any questions arise, you and your employee can directly message each other.
