for hourly employees, particularly in a 24/7 business where staffing is required, which software platform do you recommend?
Right now, it's a manual process with Excel, and if there is a pre-planned absence or not, getting messaging out to a list of employees is difficult at best with our current system limitations.
I am looking for an online scheduler that is web-based, can send out notifications if a shift becomes vacant, and gives the department leader the ability to approve/deny OT to another person picking up the shift -- if this person is near or at OT already, instead of keeping it "wide open."
Does something like this exist?

Our company uses ADP. It's got a lot of features, not sure if it has the ones you need specifically

Load schedule into the when I work app. Have them all download it. They can request shift changes,communicate with the whole team and see real time changes.

Many healthcare places I’ve worked have done self scheduling? Some worked some failed. Have u already tried that?
It’s done with the understanding that if holes are left consistently you can always step in and move people. For us it’s always weekends. Everybody wants to work Tuesday Wednesday Thursday big gaps Saturday Sunday.
If these are sales jobs then it may be the opposite with the weekends being prime shifts?

I’ve Maximo, SAP, Fiori, and AIW. Fiori and AIW are SAP tools that are less cumbersome that SAP. Maximo was by far my favorite due to its simplicity. If this is the first stab at building a maintenance program for a facility I’d go ahead and think about long term planning. Specifically, how can you set it up to create a historical database for common problems in equipment?

4 shifts, 12 hour schedule, 2 days on, 2 days off, 3 days on.
Then swap the days the next week.
Rotate between nights and days , if needed.

We use 7shifts at our pizza place. It works very well. There is messaging, time off request, ability to put up and swap shifts, etc

The UKG payroll system we have at work I think does most of this. Dont know if that's an option for your company.

Snap Schedule 365
It has an app that can be downloaded by each employee and send out OT requests, schedule vacation, shift swap. All controlled by whatever rules the administrator sets. We use it in our plant and it works way better than I ever expected.

I don’t know what field you are in exactly, but all the nurses I know seem to have some limitations with their scheduling requests. As in, they have to get things approved, they can only ask off for certain things, they have to be flexible and work certain things.
Also, seems like maybe putting certain employees on the on call schedule once a month for a week or whatever may help you.
