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.

Why is this helpful? One of the best things about this is that it allows you – the employer – to keep track of the hours that people have already worked. In that way it will alert you if they have gone over the 40 hours a week and have hit overtime. It will also alert you to the amount of sick and vacation days that they have left.

How many times have employees tried to argue about the amount of hours that they have worked during the week so that they are able to get more money? This is a common problem that employers have to deal with. However, with the benefits of employee scheduling that should no longer be a problem.

All you will have to do is access the information easily on the program by looking under their name. All the information will be there and it will have an exact date and time from when they clocked in and clocked out. In this way no one is going to hold a grudge.

Make sure that you are going to choose the right type of software that will help making an employee schedule easier than ever before. There are various forms that you will be able to choose from. Some are designed to work better for smaller companies while others give you the ability to work best for larger companies and the various branches that it has.

It is also possible to purchase the web based software. This will allow you to access the information and create a schedule without actually having to be in the office. When an employer has to travel this program will allow them to keep an eye on what is going on and will prevent people from trying to hack into the system.

Good Holidays everyone,

Just wanted to give an update for this month. Still rolling along, adding some minor tweaks to the automatic scheduling so it works to perfection; and also implementing Paypal into the system for easy, secure payments. Notification emails will be sent out asap once Fendza is officially available to the public. Be sure to sign up in the current pricing page if you want to be on this list as well.

Anyways, hope everyone has a good holidays and remember not to work too hard; this is the time to relax alittle bit and spend some quality time with the family, charge back up, and hit 2011 really hard!

Hey everyone,
It’s that time of year, the leaves start falling, temperature starts falling, and the lights start going up. Holiday music already where ever I go.

With that said, we are still alive and kicking here at Fendza. Just banging away at the master plan. We have a few folks testing out the bugs for the Beta Private version right now, and making sure it works 97% well so we can get it launched for the Beta Public version. Again, thanks for the continued support, and notification sign ups.

Hey guys,
Just wanted to give yall an update on Fendza. We are fastly approaching a version of Fendza that will be available for Beta; we will also be offering this version for free to everyone. We took a bit longer because we re-vised a lot on design and functions to make it the absolutely-most-optimum user friendly application you ever seen!

For right now, we are aiming very highly at mid-September. Thank you to those that have signed up to be notified when we do launch; and as always, thank you for your continued patience.

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.
