Employee Scheduling Software

Employee scheduling software saves time, reduces scheduling errors, and ensures the right staffing levels. It automatically flags PTO conflicts, hour limit issues, missed breaks, and over- or understaffing risks.

Choose scheduling software that’s simple to use. Your managers shouldn’t have to face a steep learning curve to build a shift. Make sure it includes smart tools like labor forecasting and automatic compliance checks, so that every schedule you publish is cost-effective, compliant, and aligned with demand.

Yes. Most employee scheduling tools can integrate with payroll systems. However, Workforce.com goes beyond simple integration by offering payroll and scheduling on a single platform. With everything in one system, you eliminate the need to switch platforms and avoid manual data re-entry. This creates a single, consistent workflow that reduces errors and saves valuable time.

Scheduling software makes the whole process way faster and way less stressful. It predicts demand, warns you if someone's on PTO, and even catches potential labor law issues before you hit “publish”. What used to take hours of manual work—cross-checking availability, compliance rules, and staffing needs—can now be done in minutes with far greater accuracy.

Most businesses will benefit from employee scheduling software, especially those who employ more than 10 people in their team. For Workforce.com, industries with hourly workforces—retail, hospitality, and healthcare—see the most value.

In so many ways. You can see wage costs in real-time and adjust staffing levels as needed. You can also stay on budget by viewing wage costs per team, per week, or per location. Demand-based scheduling helps you match scheduled labor to forecasted sales to avoid over- or understaffing. Finally, it helps you choose best-fit employees for shifts based on their hourly rates, qualifications, and overtime risk.
