re: for those of you responsible for creating work schedules

Seems that with that many people you may have a few managers of certain areas of the facility. Different departments. They should be better at knowing the hourly employees schedules and needs. Delegate once you create the structure. You then over see that.

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.

This is what we do. Unfortunately, it isn’t as simple as it could be with the number of call outs, no shows, vacations, etc.

Which is why I need more visibility for a scheduling program.

Thanks to all that have helped, I will research them to see which one fits our needs.

This is a completely shite schedule for anyone with a normal life, kids, a family, or anything else outside of work. Frick that, respectfully. It’s really really hard to have a shite work schedule unless you are paying extremely well.

If you have 100 employees I’d assume you can set up some sales calls fairly easily OP and tell them your necessities and restrictions and just end the convo if they can’t do anything important?

Do you pay better for your weekend and less desired shifts? I’m assuming so, my sister as a nurse makes more anytime she works after 4pm which seems crazy.

QGenda.. use it to make schedules in healthcare, including one sched with 16 shifts/day and 50 staff.

ShiftAdmin - we use it for our 30-35 employee 24/7 schedule across multiple sites. Whoever is in charge of the schedule has to learn the ins and outs of the website but they have good tech support/ guidance. I have used it at two different jobs and it is much preferred over what it replaced.

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?

Yes. I'm in the service industry and have used Hotschedules for a business with 80-90 employees and now I use Sling for 25 employees. Both have all of these features.

You get 7 off days every 2 weeks. I don't work this schedule, but those that I know that do work this schedule love it.
