ScheduleBase is employee scheduling software for managers who create work schedules online and communicate them to staff.
What ScheduleBase is
ScheduleBase is employee scheduling software for managers who create work schedules online and communicate them to staff. Managers can enter shifts, copy existing schedules, use shift presets, and view schedules across two to four weeks. Employees record regular availability for scheduling decisions and submit special daily requests that managers can approve or deny. When schedules are posted or changed, employees can request notifications by email or text. Free mobile apps let staff view schedules and make requests on iPhone and Android, while the service also runs on the web. People can be arranged into schedule groups, although one person cannot belong to more than one group. Billing is based on the number of people in an account, with inactive people excluded. The ScheduleBase plan costs $10 a month for 20 or fewer employees. A trial provides the first 30 days free, and the service has no contract. ScheduleBase says it was acquired by TCP Software.
