An employee scheduler is a tool used in offices to help you create and manage schedules for your employees. There are various kinds of schedulers available in the market; and some are even specialized enough to fit a specific kind of business.

Kinds of employee scheduler

While most schedulers available on the market may work well for you, regardless of the number of your employees, some are created specifically for businesses with a few employees. However, the following are the 2 main kinds of employee scheduler:

* Automated Scheduling - This allows you to assign employees to pre-set shifts.
* Flex Scheduling - This kind lets you assign employees to specific hours.

You may also opt to let your employees express their desired schedule before you make your employee scheduling. This helps in knowing your employees' work restrictions.

Advantages of an employee scheduler

Apart from making the creation and management of your employees' schedules fast and convenient, an employee scheduler clearly states the wages your hourly employees deserve.. Moreover, it prevents employees from making excuses that they are unaware of their schedule as you can inform them about it by printing schedule reports, e-mailing them to your employees, or publishing them on the web. Another advantage of an employee scheduler is it easily serves as a month- or year-end report of employees' performance for accurate documentation. Lastly, this is an ideal tool for businesses which have employees working in multiple locations since you and your employees have 24/7 access to their schedules through the web.

Extra features of an employee scheduler

Most employee scheduling software offer features allowing you to enter information about each employee and the position they work for. While some employee schedulers may be limited to a specific number of employees, there are those which let you enter as many employees as you have.

There are those employee schedulers allowing you to enter multiple shifts of employees on the same day. You may also opt to create schedules from a day to several years. Almost all employee scheduling software have password protection and data backup for your convenience. Moreover, you can also choose the option of rotating shifts among your employees and even letting them trade shifts upon your approval. Lastly, a number of employee schedulers have a built-in employee time clock software, making it easier for you to track employees' number of work hours.
