Workforce scheduling workflow

From staffing demand to a schedule your team can use.

Plan weekly coverage, run Auto-Assign, keep employee scheduling inputs in context, review hours, export schedules, and give employees a clear self-service workspace after the schedule is published.

Weekly employee scheduling

Plan the whole week in one workforce scheduling view.

See employees, shifts, dates, coverage, and schedule actions together. Managers can review the week, make targeted changes, and publish when the schedule is ready.

Automatic shift scheduling

Let Auto-Assign handle the repetitive employee-to-shift matching.

Choose the date range and let ElShift evaluate eligible employees against the scheduling conditions you have configured. When a valid assignment cannot be made, uncovered staffing stays visible for manager attention.

Employee work preferences

Bring employee work preferences into shift planning.

Employees can manage weekly hours plus shift, day, and location preferences in Employee Hub, with changes sent to the manager for approval before they affect scheduling.

Compare weekly scheduled and recorded time by employee, review manager adjustments, and export timesheet records from the same workforce scheduling system.

Why ElShift

Set the scheduling logic once. Stop rebuilding it shift by shift.

ElShift is built for teams where a schedule depends on more than putting names into a calendar. Configure the operation, let Auto-Assign do the repetitive matching, and keep managers in control of review and publishing.

Schedule around real constraints

Bring staffing demand, leave, weekly-hour limits, work patterns, employee preferences, locations, and configured working rules into the assignment decision.

Reduce manual shift matching

Auto-Assign evaluates eligible employees across the selected period so managers can focus on exceptions and operational decisions instead of rebuilding every assignment by hand.

Connect managers and employees

Managers plan and publish in ElShift while Employee Hub gives staff their own schedule, attendance, leave, calendar, actions, profile, timesheets, and work preferences.

When staffing demand is feasible and the relevant rules are correctly configured, Auto-Assign is designed to complete the repetitive matching without managers manually repairing rule violations afterward.
