TimeForce will help you manage your scheduling needs, whether simple or complex.
TimeForce comes with two powerful scheduling options right out-of-the-box:
1. Standard Scheduling
If you simply need to schedule your employees without highly complex scheduling options, this tool is for you. You'll be scheduling your employees in minutes.
Standard Scheduling makes it easy to create recurring schedules for a particular shift:
You can also use scheduling templates to schedule by day.
Or create recurring schedules by day of week.
Most businesses love Standard Scheduling, but if you need even more control, next up is Spreadsheet Scheduling.
2. Spreadsheet Scheduling
The spreadsheet scheduler is a tool designed for organizations who have flexible or unpredictable work patterns. It allows employees more control of their own schedule by showing their availability, allowing employees to perform shift swaps, and to pick up additional work hours. Supervisors have more control of their labor costs and can schedule more quickly, while ensuring full coverage.
