General Features |
|
Enhanced Web Interface
| MyWorkHours.com provides an easy to use yet powerful application
interface. Unlike the majority of web based systems, MyWorkHours.com
provides a unique design that does not require a full page refresh
after every action taken by the user. This minimizes the time you
spend waiting for the pages to show up. It also makes the pages
significantly more responsive. Click through the pages within
your account and see for yourself. |
|
|
Easy to Learn & Use
| MyWorkHours.com provides a significant number of scheduling and management tools
but not at the cost of added complexity. Unlike other online applications
that build a system to handle a few features and then add new features
without improving the original design, MyWorkHours.com, after analyzing
usage patterns and test users, has redesigned the entire system
three times making it easier to use than it has ever been.
This means you can enjoy additional features without the complexity. |
|
|
Unlimited Schedules
| Being able to create and use an unlimited number of schedules
means that whether your organization is large or small you will
have the freedom and flexibility to organize your schedules just
how you want. Even organizations that have a large number of
departments or are spread over a wide geographical area will
find the flexibility useful in improving the efficiency and
productivity of schedule management. |
|
|
Unlimited Jobs and Shifts
| Being able to create and use an unlimited number of jobs and
shifts means you will not have to worry about exceeding

Managers are given the flexibility they need to manage schedules in
the way that works best for them. |
|
|
Individual Sign In Accounts
| Each employee and manager is given their own personal sign in
account. This not only helps to keep information and schedules
secure, it also helps to ensure that employees only have access
to schedules and information that is relevant to them. Employees
can be given management access if needed without creating a separate account.
|
|
|

Scheduling Tools |
|
Drag & Drop Shifts
| The drag & drop features make setting up schedules fast and easy.
If a shift needs to be reassigned just drag the shift to a
different spot on the schedule. To duplicate a shift hold the
shift key down on the keyboard and drag the shift to a new location.
It's that easy. |
|
|
Right-Click Menu
| The right-click menu is simple to use and makes adding, editing,
and deleting shifts easy. The right-click menu allows you to
modify one or many shifts at the same time. To select multiple
shifts or spots on the schedule simply hold the shift key down. |
|
|
Shift Coverage Template
| The shift coverage template lets you setup coverage shifts once
and apply them week after week, making only minor changes as needed.
Different coverage requirements can be setup for every day of the week.
The Build Schedule feature on the schedule applies the
coverage template to the specified week making weekly
schedule creation quick and easy. |
|
|
Shift Rotations
| Shift rotations allow you to pre-assign shifts using a flexible
rotating pattern. You could, for example, assign someone to work the
same shift every Monday, or every other Monday, or every three days
if you want. You could even have someone work a specific number of
days and then have a specific number of days off.
Shift rotations are flexible and can be used to meet the needs of your organization. |
|
|
Auto Build Schedule
| The Build Schedule feature allows you to create a schedule
based on the shift coverage requirements and the shift rotations
specified. This feature makes building weekly schedules quick and
easy. Any shifts left unassigned are clearly marked and can be
assigned using the Auto Assign feature. |
|
|
Auto Assign Shifts
| The auto assign feature makes optimal shift assignments for an
entire week with just one click. This feature not only saves
valuable time it helps managers to create reasonable, unbiased schedules.
To match people with unassigned shifts this feature automatically
considers employee availability, employee skills, requested time off,
ideal number of hours per week, maximum allowed hours per week and day,
and maximum allowed days per week. |
|
|
Shift Schedule Tools
| The shift tools let you quickly Add, Edit, Delete, Copy, and Move
shifts. These interactive tools are easy to learn and use, and allow
you to quickly setup schedules. Using the tools you can delete,
copy, move, or edit an entire day or week at the same time.
The drag & drop features make moving and copying individual shifts quick and simple.
The r-click menu makes adding, editing, and deleting multiple shifts fast and easy. |
|
|
Auto Conflict Detection
| The schedule automatically detects and displays conflicts such as
when a person is assigned overlapping shifts, jobs they are not qualified for,
work during their time off, or more than their maximum allowed daily or weekly hours.
The conflicts are indicated on the manager's view of the schedule
for quick resolution. This feature saves time and helps to keep
managers from making scheduling oversights. It also helps managers
to be confident that the schedules they create are realistic and feasible. |
|
|
Fast Find
| The fast find feature lets you quickly and easily navigate to the
schedule you are looking for. The responsive interface lets you
quickly switch from week to week. You can jump ahead several weeks
or months just as easily. |
|
|
Flexible Views
| The schedule can be viewed in a number of formats. The first is
a traditional view showing each person's name and total number of
hours they have been assigned followed by the shifts they have been
assigned for the week. The schedule can also be organized
by Job and by Shift Type. These useful formats allow you to see
how the transition between employees will occur for each shift
throughout the day or week. |
|
|
Post Schedules Online
| Posting schedules online is easier than ever. The online schedule
hosting features of your account are fully integrated with the
scheduling tools. Once a week's schedule is how it should be, just
click the Post Schedule button and instantly everyone on the
schedule can easily view the schedule online using their sign in
accounts. |
|
|
Availability
| Easily specify when employees are available to work. You can also specify
ideal hours per week, maximum hours per day and week, and maximum days
per week. These parameters are used by the auto assign feature
to schedule each person appropriatly. If a person is manually scheduled
contrary to these settings the conflict is automatically detected
and displayed directly on the managers view of the schedule. |
|
|
|
Management Tools |
|
People Groups
| People Groups represent departments, physical locations, and any other
logical grouping of jobs and employees. Since you can create an
unlimited number of people groups and an unlimited number
of jobs you have full freedom, and flexibility to manage your
schedules just how you want. Managers can be given management access
to the departments and locations that they help to manage. |
|
|
People Profiles
| People profiles are easy to create and manage, and provide
significant flexibility over how a person is scheduled. Managers can specify
which jobs a person can do, what hours the person is available
to work (for every day of the week), the maximum hours per day and week they
are allowed to work, the maximum days per week
they are allowed to work, and their ideal number of hours to work
per week. |
|
|
Time Off Requests
| The systematic approach used to keep track of time off helps to
ensure that time off requests, no matter how far in advance they
are made, are not lost or forgotten. Employees submit time off requests
using their sign in accounts and then managers can easily
approve or deny the requests. Allowing people to submit requests
at their own convenience can avoid unnecessary scheduling hassels.
Time off is even displayed on the
managers view of the schedule. If anyone is scheduled to work
during their time off this conflict is clearly indicated on the schedule. |
|
|
Shift Trade Board
| If an employee cannot work an assigned shift
the employee can post the shift to the trade board. The trade
board allows other people to take or trade for the posted shift.
Employees can even check the status of the shifts they have posted
to the trade board. Giving employees tools and increased
control over their schedule helps to boost employee job satisfaction. |
|
|
Manage Shift Trades
| Other than approving and denying trades the trade board
requires no manager intervention. All shifts posted to the trade
board are verified by the system to be reasonable and doable.
Managers can also post shifts to and remove shifts from
the trade board, if needed. Managers can even trade shifts for employees. |
|
|
Timesheets
| Timesheets are easily filled out, handed in, reviewed, and approved online.
MyWorkHours.com makes timesheets easily accessible to employees and
managers online. Timesheets are automatically totaled and displayed
in summary format. This helps to highlight total hours as well as
overtime and PTO hours. Timesheets in detail or summary formats can
be printed from the Reports page. |
|
|
Accruals (Vacation, Sick)
| Vacation, Sick, Personal, and Holiday Paid Time Off (PTO) can all
be managed by the system. You can even create customized accruals.
The system allows hours to accrue a flat amount yearly or per pay period.
Hours can also be accrued every pay period based on actual hours worked.
You can even specify maximum and end of year carry over limits. |
|
|
Time Codes (Overtime, Holiday, On Call)
| Daily & Weekly Overtime, and Holiday pay time codes are automatically
detected and indicated by the system for those who qualify for special pay.
You can even create customized time codes for employees to use on
their timesheets. |
|
|
Announcement Board
| Announcements are a useful way to inform people of scheduling issues,
upcoming events, policy changes, etc. Since announcements are posted
on the first page employees see when signing in to their
account, this can be an effective way to distribute information.
Dates can even be specified to automatically post and unpost messages
to the announcement board. |
|
|
Customizable Reports
| MyWorkHours.com provides a variety of report types including schedules,
timesheets, accruals, time off requests, and announcements.
Every report type is customizable, and once the report settings
are customized to meet your specific needs you can save it for future use.
You can even specify exactly who you want to include in each report
and create reports for any date range you need. |
|
|

communication between managers and employees. MyWorkHours.com
makes contact information readily available to both
managers and employees. |
|
|
Email Notifications
| The MyWorkHours.com email notifications help to ensure that time off
and trade shift requests are taken care of in a timely matter.

Managers and employees can easily configure their sign in accounts to send
notification emails when certain scheduling events occur.

part of managers or employees.
