We’ll try and do these about once a month before the new month comes up. You’ll still have to print it out and write on it to get it out to people. If that ever becomes too much to do, though, please check out our employee scheduling software.

First off when making a purchasing decision it is recommended the manager analyze the “possibility to buy” by comparing a paper schedule to the schedules found on the Internet. This type of analytic assessment can put everything in clearer focus. The true paper schedule, first-off, is generally inadequate. Let’s say you enter the data from the paper schedule and then take the contents and place it on your own employee corporate site. This still lacks in benefit to you as well as the employees. However when you move away from the “pretend scenario” of having a web-based solution as previously illustrated to one where you actually use true online employee scheduling software: this makes a world of difference. The online employee scheduling software offers you the manager as well as your staff the ability to easily access the schedule day or night and in real time.

Not only that, you and your employees can go over the schedule for the week and review it within two different settings. In example, your employee may be logged into the schedule at home; and you the manager may be sitting in your office. Plus since the software is an online solution you needn’t go to the trouble of installing software: after all you are a restaurant manager, call center manager, retail manager or whatever the case may be—not the technical arm of your operation. In fact there are no high tech prerequisites required on your part other than you supply a browser.

The software provides one convenient location where you and your staff can easily access the employee schedule as well as related information. Further, online employee scheduling software is intuitive and the face of it is simplistic. If you wish to make scheduling easy it is important that the solution provides easy accessibility as well as an interface that is simple to navigate. In this light you can rapidly make modifications to the schedule; and employee’s personal information (if necessary). Subsequently, the employee will receive a notification as to adjustments within the schedule. They can also log into the system and accept the schedule as presented. Online employee scheduling software that is not simple enough causes staff to lose interest in using it. A complicated process is not an issue when using online employee scheduling software (as just described).

Here is another thought: Certainly if you are going to offer online employee scheduling software to your crew, it is equally important the solution provide the ability to access the employee schedule through wireless devices. Make certain the online employee scheduling software you select provides access by way of laptops, smart phones and cellular phones. This is crucial since you as manager or your employee may not always be able to check the schedule from home or while at work. Online employee scheduling solutions generally however can be accessed through wireless devices. Here again, this streamlines communications for you as manager; and makes schedule changes and modifications not the issue as was once the circumstance.

A good employee online scheduling solution allows you to notify the employee(s) of updates to the weekly or monthly work schedule. The solution therefore needs to reflect schedule modifications in a timely manner and present notifications to the employee by the way of text messaging and/ or email correspondence. In return, you as manager need to be made aware through way of text messaging and email that the employee has viewed and accepted his or her new schedule. The online employee scheduling software makes this possible.

Two factors determine exempt or non-exempt status: Salary and primary responsibilities. To be exempt an employee must be paid more than $455 per week or be in one of 5 recognized classes; Outside Sales, Executives, Administrators, Computer Pros and Professionals. There is no law requiring exempt status for any employee. Even CEO can be paid an hourly wage. When an employee is treated as non-exempt, that employee is non-exempt and eligible for overtime.


Hope that helps you out. =)
