Work Schedules & Shifts
Create and manage employee work schedules and rotating shifts in one simple system. Reduce scheduling conflicts by up to 45% with automated planning.
How teams plan shifts without confusion
Work Schedules & Shifts is built for clear scheduling and daily work planning. The feature helps management plan employee shifts, rotations, and availability in one online calendar. It works well for small teams and growing structures where schedules change often. All planning stays visible, easy to update, and simple for staff to understand.
Why shift planning breaks
and how to fix it
Scheduling problems usually begin with manual work. Shifts overlap, updates are shared late, and planners spend too much time adjusting details. As teams grow, staff availability becomes harder to track. Employees get mixed information and managers repeat the same fixes week after week.
SSTW brings structure into this process. All scheduling happens in one staff scheduling app. Shifts and rotations follow clear rules set in advance. Availability is checked before planning starts. Updates appear in real-time and remove confusion. Planning time drops by up to 40%, while schedules stay predictable and easy to follow.
