(ABS), a leading provider of employee scheduling software, today announced the release of a new communication feature for its online employee scheduling software, ScheduleAnywhere.

Managers can now use ScheduleAnywhere to fill open shifts and to: 

  • Send messages regarding schedule changes.
  • Send messages to fill last-minute call outs.
