Create a Calendar

Staff scheduling allows admins to identify:

  • users who will be on-call

  • shift types (such as daily or weekly)

  • the start date/time for the schedule

Automated staff scheduling helps to deploy backups for primary critical employees, tracking and distributing the work schedule/hours, keeping track of time-off, and communicating with employees.
