Employee Scheduling

Build your team's schedule in minutes, not hours.

Drag-and-drop shift builder, recurring templates, instant notifications, and a shift swap marketplace β€” so you never scramble to fill a shift again.

Free 14-day trial Β· Setup in 5 minutes

Stop spending Sunday nights on spreadsheets.

Most small business managers still build schedules in Excel, Google Sheets, or WhatsApp groups. It takes 3+ hours every week, leads to double-bookings, and falls apart the moment someone calls in sick. Employee scheduling software replaces all of that with a system that takes minutes, not hours β€” and handles changes automatically.

β€œWe used to spend Sunday nights doing schedules. Now it takes 20 minutes and my managers actually follow through. The late alerts alone paid for the first month.”

Scheduling is just the start.

In Staffapp.ai, scheduling connects directly to GPS clock-in, timesheets, and payroll. When a scheduled employee clocks in, the system validates their shift, logs the hours, and feeds approved time into payroll records. No re-entry, no spreadsheets, no gaps.

Frequently asked questions

How fast can I build a weekly schedule?+

Most managers build their first schedule in under 10 minutes. Use recurring templates to copy schedules week to week, or create shifts from scratch with drag-and-drop. Once published, your team is notified instantly.

Can employees see their schedules on their phones?+

Yes. The moment you publish a schedule, every assigned employee receives a notification and can view their shifts from any device. No app download required β€” it works in the browser.

How do shift swaps work?+

When an employee cannot cover a shift, they release it to the shift swap marketplace. Other eligible teammates can claim it. The swap only goes through after manager approval, so you always stay in control.

Can I create different schedules for different locations?+

Yes. On the Growth plan, you can manage multiple worksites with separate schedules, teams, and geofences β€” all from one dashboard.

What happens when someone does not show up?+

Staffapp sends a late alert at 15 minutes past the scheduled start time and a no-show alert at 45 minutes. You know about problems before they become crises.
