After we provide you with a brief tour and pricing, we’ll ask for your approval to move forward. From there, we simply need to understand your shift template and any rules that affect the time clock if you’re choosing to use that feature. We’ll also need a copy of your membership roster so that we can setup accounts for everyone.

A downloadable “app” is in the works. For now, eSchedule is mobile friendly. It works fine on desktop, tablet and mobile devices. The mobile version offers the most frequently used features. A link to the “full” version is always available in the footer. If you’re using a tablet or iPad, the full web version will appear.

Our pricing is based on the number of active members in your organization as well as the features you wish to activate. You tell us how many people need to have access and we’ll only charge you for what you use. Once you reach your max # users, simply contact us to increase your plan to allow for more users.

Employees have the option to export their upcoming shifts/ schedule to the iCal format which is the most commonly accepted calendar format. They can then sync the iCal file with Outlook, Google Calendar, etc.

If your employees have any certifications that are nearing expiration, they will receive an alert each time they login. Also, if they have any unread messages, it will notify them as such. After that, your employee will see the main ‘dashboard’ which is a summary of upcoming shifts, messages, shift bids/swaps, PTO information and upcoming events.

The Events Calendar is an easy-to-use, flexible tool to allow for the creation of both internal and external events. If you have an upcoming staff meeting or training event, place it on the calendar. Your employees can then login and sign-up to attend the event. After it’s over, you can do a simple time card export which gives credit to those employees who attended the event (this will carry through to payroll).
