The solution will eliminate a number of manual processes, forms and procedures, automate and track workflow, and give both employees and managers more control and flexibility in schedule management. Employees can view their daily, weekly and monthly schedules. These schedules are updated automatically any time an administrator makes changes to them. Employees can request and bid on schedules by viewing available options, selecting their start and end times and lunch times. The system will also control and facilitate trading schedules between employees, and allows employees to post requests for trades.
Employees can also request schedule changes to the administrator.
