Available Shifts

  • Available shifts can be created by the scheduler from either the web or mobile app. Once you’ve entered the necessary information—date, start time, notes, etc.—you can notify either all or select employees about the shift. The employees can then request it right from their smartphone. All requests for the shift are collected and can be assigned to an employee(s) by the manager. The schedule is immediately updated and employees are notified of whether they were assigned the new shift or not.

Real-Time Updates

MakeShift updates scheduled shifts, availability, and other information in real-time, ensuring managers and employees are all working with the same, up-to-date information. Users can also set custom notifications, so that they’ll be alerted as soon as anything changes. Additionally, work schedules can be quickly synced with Apple, Google, Outlook, and other calendars.
