Frequently asked questions

Maybe you’re not doing OK. Count all the hours you spent last year, and will spend next year. How inflexible and time-consuming is changing the schedules when someone is out? Snap Schedule shift scheduling software saves you time by dragging and dropping rather than erasing and writing. It will also help you prevent under and over staffing, schedule conflicts, and reduce your personnel overtime and labor costs. And pencil and paper cannot let your employees access their schedules online or email shift schedules to your employees. It can’t change views to weeks, full month, and it can’t show you just Joe’s or Sue’s schedules. Doing these tasks by hand is very time consuming and difficult due to workload fluctuations, frequent special requests from employees, last minute changes, and high employee turnover. Without the right shift scheduling software tools in place, you will expend a great deal of time on these tasks — time better spent on more critical, revenue-generating activities.

Using Excel templates for shift scheduling is definitely better than using pencil-and-paper but you get much more with Snap Schedule shift scheduling apps, considering the price you would pay for Excel and scheduling templates. Scheduling personnel is really a multi-dimensional problem that cannot be represented in a flat row and column format. There are employees, shifts, skills, and dates – and you really need to be able to view the schedule from multiple vantage points. You will spend many unnecessary hours working around Excel limitations. Unlike Snap Schedule shift scheduling apps, Excel is not specifically designed for employee shift scheduling and attendance management.

The permissions to perform certain operations within Snap Schedule 365 are assigned to specific roles. Schedulers and managers are assigned particular roles, and through those role associations, acquire the permissions to view and/or perform particular commands and system functions.

Automated callouts reduce grievances by enforcing callout rules and equalizing overtime opportunities— bringing transparency to the process and improving productivity and work-life balance.

It tracks who accepted, declined, or did not answer and how many times an employee refuses a callout, which is important for equitably distributing work per the union agreement. Management and union representatives can instantly see the employee’s shift assignments, hours worked, overtime hours, and how the callout was done.
