Automatically Schedule Your Employees to Daily Shifts

Why do I need this spreadsheet scheduler

This spreadsheet creates a schedule where everyone works 5 shifts a week and has 2 days off in an environment that requires up to 10 different overlapping shifts. This type of schedule is usually found in call centers, restaurants, and retail stores where more than 3 shifts are required to match staff to the work load using the standard (no overtime) 8 hour shifts and 40 hour week. Your full time employees get 5 shifts a week and any left over shifts go to your part time employees.

It's so easy to use

Just enter your employee names, their preferred shifts and any vacation requests along with your shift information and daily staffing requirements and push a button to automatically make a schedule for 4 weeks.

It shows you exactly what you need to know to manage your business

The final schedule shows the name of each employee assigned to each shift each day for 4 weeks and your daily staffing levels are presented in charts showing the number of people working each 15 minute period during the week. A weekly calendar shows shift assignments and a calendar file is created that you can import into your Microsoft Outlook Calendar and to your PDA or Smart Phone so you will have everybody's schedule readily available.

It tells your employees all they need to know about their schedules

A 4 week schedule is created for each individual that you can print and distribute and the weekly calendar showing shift assignments can be automatically e-mailed to your employees. In addition, a calendar file is created showing the shifts for an employee that can be imported into their Microsoft Outlook Calendar and to their PDA or Smart Phone so they will have their 4 week schedule readily available.

It will save you time and money every week

Using this scheduler instead of your typical paper and pencil method or outdated scheduling program or a spreadsheet that somebody put together a few years ago will save you a great deal of time and since it is so easy to create your schedules and manage employee vacations you will save money every week and before you know it the small price you paid for the spreadsheet will be repaid many times over.
