Scheduling Full-time and Part Time Employees
When creating a schedule that includes both full-time and part-time employees, you have to pay particular attention to the number of hours you have available and the number of hours each employee receives so you don't give employees too little or too many hours. In addition to keeping track of employee hours, you also have to try to accommodate time-off requests; provide extra coverage on days that are busier than others, and rotate weekends in order to keep employees happy.
Web Work Schedules was created to help you design an error-free employee work schedule each and every time so you have the coverage you need to maintain a successful business. With the ability to create daily and weekly schedules, input schedule rules such as the maximum amount of hours needed for the week and hours required per shift, you will be able to eliminate many common scheduling errors such as giving employees too many hours or go over your weekly limit.
The software application also includes work schedule templates that can make creating basic schedules even easier. If you need have more specific needs, you can create your own templates as well. Web Work Schedules can be viewed on any computer that has Internet access. This means that once you post a schedule, employees will be able to view it as well from home. For part-time employees, this is a great feature as they may not be working at the time the new schedule is posted.
If a mistake has been made, employees can alert you quickly. Other features of this application include:
- Ability to black-out certain dates so employees cannot request time off
- Ability to contact managers separately from employees
- Community message board where you can post schedule changes or schedule policy changes
Changes to the work schedule should be made as soon as possible so employees know which days they're working. When using an online application, you can make changes during the workday, in the evening, or during the weekend. Alerting employees to important changes will reduce missed shifts and ensure that there is enough coverage for all shifts.
