ElShift workforce scheduling features
ElShift combines the scheduling inputs managers normally track across spreadsheets, messages, and memory with employee self-service, attendance, shift actions, and manager-side schedule validation in one workforce scheduling workflow.
Automatic shift scheduling
Automatic shift scheduling that works around real constraints
Automatically assign employee shifts around staffing demand, leave, work patterns, weekly hour limits, locations, preferences, and scheduling rules.
Constraint-aware scheduling
Constraint-aware workforce scheduling
Build employee schedules around leave, work patterns, weekly-hour limits, locations, staffing demand, preferences, and transition rules.
Employee scheduling preferences
Employee scheduling preferences and availability constraints
Record weekday, shift-template, and location settings alongside leave, work patterns, and weekly-hour limits.
Employee shift swaps
Employee shift swaps with manager-controlled schedule changes
ElShift Employee Hub lets eligible employees request shift swaps and shift changes, respond to colleague swap requests, track status, and keep managers in control of the authoritative schedule.
Attendance & time clock
Employee clock-in, clock-out, attendance history, and timesheet context
ElShift Employee Hub includes employee clock-in and clock-out, break minutes, attendance history, scheduled-shift context, timesheet updates, and offline attendance event syncing.
Schedule conflict validation
Manual schedule conflict warnings and assignment review
ElShift reviews manager-side schedule edits against configured scheduling policy and blocks physically invalid changes while surfacing policy exceptions before allowed overrides.

Repeating work patterns and rotating shift cycles
Create repeating work/rest patterns, assign employee anchor dates, and use rotating shift templates in automatic scheduling.

Schedule employees across locations using employee suitability, assignment locations, and minimum staffing requirements by shift.

Staffing coverage and shortage visibility
Define staffing demand, track required headcount, and see when employee or location constraints leave a shift short.

Working rules for safer schedule planning
Configure weekly hours, rest rules, night-work context, and shift-transition restrictions, with schedule checks during Auto-Assign and supported manual edits.
Timesheet review
Review scheduled and actual employee hours
