Everything in the weekly schedule

WeeklyStaffSchedule makes the weekly schedule and gets it to your people. Copy last week, fix what's circled, and publish.

Build the week

Copy last week, then fix what’s circled. The red ring is a shift outside someone’s availability, and Sam’s row is highlighted the way Sam sees it.

Shifts can run past midnight: put in an end time earlier than the start and it counts as one shift.

  2. June: “I’ll take it”You get an emailNeeds OK
  3. You approveThe shift moves to JuneApproved

Thursday, covered

Sam can’t make Thursday. Sam offers the shift to June or to anyone, June takes it, and you approve it with one tap. The schedule updates itself and both of them get an email.

Nobody trades a shift behind your back, and nobody has to call you about it.

Prefer the wall?

Print the week on one landscape page, or turn on a view-only link for the break-room tablet. Once a week is published, everyone on the team sees the whole week, so they know who they’re working with and who to ask for a swap.

What it doesn’t do

WeeklyStaffSchedule makes the weekly schedule and gets it to your people. It is not a time clock, it doesn’t run payroll, and it doesn’t check your schedule against labor laws or break rules. If you need those, you need a bigger (and pricier) tool. If you need a schedule everyone can see, this is it.
