Employee Scheduling Software

Need to keep fully staffed? Employee scheduling software is used by savvy businesses to stay staffed and keep track of vacations, holidays, and all those other marvelous reasons that keep folks out of the shop. With a comprenehsive employee scheduling software package, management will know who's in, who's out, and why not.

There's one less reason to walk into work on a Monday morning to the unpleasant surprise of a missing worker.

"Huh? Didn't Fred tell you he was going to Burning Man?"

I've worked in plenty of places without employee scheduling software. It was always a pain in neck (for lack of a better extremity). We'd get halfway through the year and it would be a mystery as to whether anyone had time left.

Employee scheduling software aims to end the second guessing and water cooler rumour mongering. Does Betty Lou have time left or not? If the scheduling package says she does, she does.

Employee scheduling software solutions providers include: ABS, ADP, Exaktime, MyCroft, Qquest, ScheduleSoft, TimeClockPlus, TimeTrack, WhenToWork, Workbrain, and others.

MyCroft's appealingly named TimeOff takes the easy-to-use approach. The employee scheduling program uses a drag and drop interface to handle scheduling and a benefit policy wizard to input company benefit variables. Floating holiday, jury duty, vacation, sick, or personal day? Just drag-and-drop.

TimeOff also handles automatic benefit calculations, based up on hours worked. Reporting options include time off taken, monthly calendar, and a time off balances report.

MyCroft offers a 45 day trial version.
