Some of the key employee scheduling software features that organizations consider are mobile-friendliness, the use of a payroll tracking system, time management, and a look into the profiles of employees.
FREMONT, CA: Employee scheduling software streamlines and simplifies the process of scheduling shifts for hourly employees. It automates worker scheduling with features such as automatic scheduling, payroll tracking, and shift swapping. Organizations can monitor and build their employees' schedules easily with this software, giving them more time to focus on other important tasks.
Organizations look for the following significant features in employee scheduling software:
Mobile-friendly: When a shift is posted, employees can easily view it on their mobile devices. They can request shift changes or trades directly from their mobile devices. Employees working certain shifts can be monitored, approved, and finalized by organizations. Shareholders can also schedule and approve shift changes when they are away from their desks using their mobile phones or tablets.
The payroll tracking system: Payroll software makes it easier to calculate the employee's pay based on the number of hours they've worked. Payroll tracking features calculate an employee's gross pay as soon as they clock out of their shift. Based on the hours worked, some platforms show the total earnings an employee has earned that week. Companies can export this information using a third-party integration feature or copy it over to a separate payroll system.
Profiles of employees: Employee profiles help companies organize their employees and their information if they have many employees. Employees can be sorted by location for businesses with multiple locations, so organizations can track and manage employees from any location. Employees can also be sorted by department. The profile usually includes the location or department employees work in, their payment information, and other personal information they wish to include.
Reporting and analysis: In most employee software systems, organizations can see how much their employees work, when they take time off, and how much they earn. Some features use this information to develop insights into labor costs and financial reports. Organizations may also be able to export this data into a report using one of the software's templates.
Absence management: When companies track employee absences, they can efficiently handle payroll processes and keep track of potential gaps in their schedule. Additionally, it allows companies to track when employees request paid time off and call in sick. This feature notifies them when an employee requests a vacation or leave of absence. This feature also allows employees to request time off.
Overview of the schedule: Organizations can view schedules in various formats, including weekly, biweekly, and monthly. To better understand where additional coverage is needed, viewing any schedule gaps is necessary. It is possible to filter this by specific shifts, locations, times, departments, and roles.
