How to Add Shifts to the Scheduler

How to Add Shifts to the Scheduler to define and assign shifts to employees

Shifts are defined and assigned to employees in the Scheduler. Once Shifts are added, the software knows when an employee is supposed to clock in and how long they are supposed to work for. Managers can be alerted if employees arrive late, leave early, or don't show up at all. To add Shifts to the Scheduler, follow the instructions below.

1. Go to the EasyScheduling Product Area.

If EasyScheduling is not available, please skip to the next step.
