Hourly shift scheduling and time-off management
Managers review schedules, fill gaps in minutes, and approve requests in one place. Employees check their schedule, pick up shifts, request time off, and see their balances from their phone.
Schedule
Give employees a clear month view of upcoming work while admins review daily scheduled hours and update saved days when needed.
Overtime + Coverage
Fill open shifts in minutes, not hours. Employees sign up directly from their phones while managers approve with a tap.
Time-Off
Streamline time-off requests with a clean approval workflow supervisors will actually use — no more texts or sticky notes.
Voluntary Time Off
Let employees claim approved VTO opportunities quickly, without messy side-channel coordination.
Emergency Time
Give employees visibility into emergency time balances and related documents without extra back-and-forth.
