Why teams use it

Built around the people doing the work

A schedule that covers every hour is the easy part. One that is fair to everybody who works it, and honest about what it costs, is what takes a manager’s evening.

01

Share the load fairly

Balance shifts, nights and weekends against each person's FTE and availability.

02

Bring preferences into the plan

Collect staff requests before scheduling, with leave and unavailability blocking assignments.

03

Keep flex usage visible

Set limits on flex shifts, hours or cost. See usage, remaining capacity and any overages.

04

Understand coverage needs

Compare staffing needs across shift patterns, track leave balances and identify coverage gaps.

A clear monthly workflow

Collect preferences. Build. Compare. Publish.

  1. Collect preferences

    Everyone marks the days they want, would rather avoid, or are away. Leave blocks assignments.

  2. Build

    The month is built several ways once the requests are in, each balanced against FTE and availability.

  3. Compare

    Coverage, fairness, flex and broken requests side by side, with gaps and exceptions called out.

  4. Publish

    Publish the plan you choose. Everybody sees their own shifts and who they are on with.

Employeessubmit preferences and see their shifts.
Managersreview schedule options and publish the plan.
Administratorsmanage people and roles.

Know where the tradeoffs are.

Every completed schedule is independently checked. Coverage gaps and rule exceptions are surfaced for review, before anybody sees the month.

  • Coverage gaps named by date and shift
  • Rule exceptions listed before anything is published
  • Fair share, nights and weekends shown for every person
  • Several versions of the month compared, with one recommended and the reasons why
