With ScheduleAnywhere, everything you need to schedule your employees is right at your fingertips. Your employees' names are listed along the left side of the screen. If your employees work in departments, or have specific positions, this information appears next to the employee's name. The Total Hours column shows you how many hours an employee is scheduled and helps reduce overtime.
Schedule your employees within the scheduling worksheet. Separate groups of employees by adding dividers to your schedule. If you have staffing requirements, you can enter them into the schedule by shift, position, department, or location, and see whether you're over- or under-scheduled. ScheduleAnywhere tracks the number of employees or hours you have scheduled.
You can schedule employees by locating them on the schedule and selecting the day(s) you wish to schedule. Use it to assign individual work shifts, shift patterns or rotations, and track time-off. ScheduleAnywhere is packed with powerful functions and tools to make employee scheduling easy.
If your employees work in multiple departments or locations, their names can appear on more than one schedule. ScheduleAnywhere automatically prevents overlapping shifts. By listing an employee on two different schedules, other managers will know when and where an employee is scheduled to work even if it's not in their department or location.
Create Custom Views and Schedules
See what you need to see
ScheduleAnywhere allows you to set up an unlimited number of custom schedules. Create a schedule for each of your locations or departments, as well as create schedules by position or shift. To switch schedules, just select the name of the schedule you wish to view.
You can schedule your employees from one of four different views. Choose a one-day view, a 7-day view, a 14-day view, 28-day, or 42-day view. To view a different scheduling period, press the next or previous buttons, or enter the date you wish to view and press the Go button.
Using ScheduleAnywhere to create schedules by position, department, or location is as simple as adding names to a schedule, plus you can create unlimited schedules. You can view all employees in your company or view employees by position, department, or location, or create your own custom view.
Creating custom schedules is easy
The Highlighter tool allows you to add background colors to specific items on the schedule. Using the Highlighter, you can easily identify schedule cells that match your criteria. For example, if want to emphasize employees scheduled for vacation or sick time, you can easily create a highlighter called "Vacation" or “Sick” and apply it to the schedule.
To view specific schedule information, you can apply a filter. Use filters to see only those employees scheduled a particular shift, or employees scheduled time off. Filters can also show you who is not scheduled. This is helpful when an employee calls in sick and you need to find a quick replacement.
Save Time with Fast and Easy Tools
Timesaving tools make online employee scheduling easy
ScheduleAnywhere is the fastest way to schedule your employees. It saves you time by letting you schedule multiple employees in one easy step. You can copy schedules or rotations so you don't need to re-enter redundant or repeating work schedules, and much more! ScheduleAnywhere gives you the power to manage your employees' schedules and achieve your staffing goals.
Simply hover over the employee name on the left side with your mouse to see employee details. If the employee’s work phone, home phone or email information is listed in their employee set up information, this information will appear on screen as a popup tool tip.
Staffing Requirements and Coverage
See if you're covered
Do you need to maintain specific staffing requirements? Do you need to know how many people or hours you have scheduled by position, shift or department? If so, ScheduleAnywhere is right for you!
Enter your staffing requirements and instantly see whether you have too few or too many employees scheduled. When employees call in sick or go on vacation, see how it affects your coverage.
See if you're covered
Define employee skills
You can use Skills to track employee attributes, such as skills, training, and certifications. You can set up Coverage Watches or Filters to determine the appropriate personnel to be scheduled. For example, you can set up a Coverage Watch to track the number of employees scheduled with CPR certification, or speak Spanish. You can set an expiration date for each skill, and the employee’s manager will receive a reminder notification 90 days before the skill expires.
Many of today's businesses schedule overlapping shifts to increase staff coverage during peak times. With ScheduleAnywhere, you'll always know if you're covered. View the number of employees you have scheduled by hour, half-hour, 15-minute, 10-minute or 5-minute increments. Use filters to check coverage by shift, position, department, or location. The Labor Hours chart shows how labor hours are distributed throughout the day.
Control Overtime
Reduce your labor cost
Avoid scheduling unnecessary overtime. From each schedule view, you can see how many hours an employee is scheduled. By displaying total hours on-screen, you will be able to better manage your employees' work schedules and reduce your labor expense.
Employees can view Work Schedules and Request Time Off
Allow employees to see when they work. Take charge of time off.
You can give employees read-only access to ScheduleAnywhere so they can view their work schedules. Employees can view and print their individual schedules or any staff schedule. Managers can view and print employee schedules.
Employees can also be given permission to request time off online. When an employee requests time off, you will be able to see if a time-off request conflicts with any previously scheduled shifts and accept or deny the request. If you approve the request, the employee's schedule will be updated automatically. Employees are notified of any time-off approvals or denials upon login.
Share Schedules and Communicate with other Managers
Let others schedule your employees. Send managers important messages.
Share schedules with other managers so they can oversee your employees when you're not available. ScheduleAnywhere lets other managers make changes to your schedule and lets you see the changes they've made.
ScheduleAnywhere includes a built-in messaging system that allows you to communicate with other managers and review time-off requests. Managers can notify each other about employee availability and other schedule-related information. If a manager has been sent a notification or time-off request, the notification will automatically appear the next time the manager logs into ScheduleAnywhere.
Print Schedules and Reports
Customize schedules and reports for any time frame
If you don't want to give your employees access to ScheduleAnywhere, or if your employees don't have Internet access, you can print and post any work schedule. Schedules can be printed by employee, position, shift, department, or location, and for any time frame.
Searching for schedule information is easy! In seconds, you can see how many vacation days or sick days an employee has taken. Check to see how many times an employee has been scheduled a particular shift or been assigned a specific job. With a few clicks of your mouse, you can create customized search reports, putting important schedule information at your fingertips.
The Total Hours report sums the total hours scheduled, and calculates employee utilization and efficiency for a given work period. The Total Hours report displays the schedule name, specified date range, filters that may have been selected, and any shifts for the selected period.
The Estimated Cost report is used to calculate hours scheduled and to provide an estimate of labor costs for a given work period. The Estimated Cost report displays the schedule name, specified date range, filters that may have been selected, and any overtime adjustment factors that were used to set up the report.
The Employee Profile report is used to view and print employee profiles. The Employee Profile report will display the schedule name, personal information, skills, scheduled job history as well as date ranges and schedule filters if applicable. You can select one or more employees to include and indicate what profile options you want displayed.
