Frequently asked questions
What is shift scheduling software?
The DeskTime employee scheduling app allows managers to plan shifts and oversee their human resources while employees submit preferred shifts and see their schedules. Apart from that, both the employer and staff can see different shift performance stats, such as average productivity, efficiency, time spent away from the computer, and more.
What is the best shift scheduling app?
If you're looking for software for shift scheduling, you'll notice that there are a lot of shift planning apps available that focus specifically and only on shift planning. In addition to scheduling employee shifts, DeskTime offers many other helpful features that'll help you manage your team. For instance, the absence calendar will help you keep track of when your employees have sick days, business trips, or vacations. It is an efficient tool to see how many days each user has spent away from the office and how many days of vacation they should take in the summer.
Is it possible to edit or delete a shift?
Once the shift is approved, it can only be edited or deleted by the account's owner and admins. If you want to change information about a shift, log in to My DeskTime and go to Work Schedules, where you can conveniently view all the approved shifts in one place. When you've selected the required day, click on it, and a window will pop up where you can make changes to the schedule or delete it if necessary.
What happens to shifts when you remove an employee from DeskTime?
DeskTime will automatically delete their shifts from the shift schedule. You'll quickly understand which free shift hours to refill.
Does the DeskTime shift planning app allow you to add away time in shift scheduling?
Yes, DeskTime also offers an Absence Calendar. If enabled in Settings, you can see the “Add away time” option in the Work Schedules next to the “Add Schedule” button. There you can select an absence type, whether it is sick leave, a business trip, holiday leave, or other reasons. You can also provide additional information about your absence if necessary and add a specific time when you'll be out of the office.
Can I add two shifts on the same day?
Yes, you can easily add two or more shifts on the same day. Please note that there has to be a 30-minute interval that separates shifts from one another.
