You have lots of leeway to make rules that work best for your business.
Employee scheduling is one of the most important aspects of your daily operation. Not only do you need to ensure the work gets done, but you don't want to ruffle employees' feathers. The good news is that most aspects of policy-making are up to you rather than the law. The bad news is that you have lots of decisions to make: Will you allow telecommuting, part-timers, split shifts, job sharing? How will you handle ...

Business Size (Employees)
You can purchase employee scheduling software based on business size (number of employees) for a small business (0-100), a mid-sized business (101-2500), or an enterprise business (more than 2500).
- A small business (0-100) can benefit from small business employee scheduling software offering desktop/web applications, employee information management and data transfers to payroll packages.
- A mid-sized business (101-2500) needs personnel scheduling software that offers flexible employee time tracking, mobile/remote access capabilities, and data transfers to payroll systems - all designed to meet a growing business's needs.
- An enterprise business (more than 2500) needs employee schedule software that is designed to apply complex hour/benefit calculations, to allocate costs to specific departments/clients, to track/schedule field employees and to be used by multiple employees.
Find personnel scheduling software applications you'll need, such as appointment management, employee time tracking, project management and task management.
- Appointment management software allows you to set up and make changes to appointments and meetings and to keep an up-to-the-minute calendar.
- Employee time tracking software lets you keep track of employee scheduling, attendance, hours worked, overtime and more. Automation in this arena virtually eliminates costly time tracking errors.
- Project management software enables you to control all aspects of project workflow throughout the entire lifecycle of a project.
- Use task management applications in employee scheduling software to track individual and group tasks by maintaining to-do lists, setting reminders, checking off completed tasks and more.
Choose Web-based or desktop employee schedule software type based on your computers, your budget and your need for mobility.
- Web-based, or online employee scheduling software, lets you access your software from any Internet-enabled device through a browser or ASP; use software as a service (SaaS), application service provider (ASP), on-demand software or utility computing.
- Desktop employee schedule software is installed directly onto a personal computer: you can choose from prepackaged, on disk, for PC, or for Mac scheduling software choices. Sometimes this software comes with multi-user capabilities, but it's typically "out of the box" software.
Your small business personnel scheduling software may include features for collaboration, remote access, role management and multiple licenses, and may make a demo available.
- Team software collaboration allows coworkers to use the software simultaneously. Employees working on a team project can access the same files, calendars and task lists.
- Remote access gives you (and your employees) the ability to access your schedule software from any Internet-enabled device -- anywhere, anytime.
- Role management scheduling systems allow you to set up different user-specific security levels so certain employees can only access certain functions.
- Purchasing multiple licenses allows many users to work on a personnel scheduling software license.
- Look for a downloadable employee scheduling software program with a demo available so you can try before you buy. A free trial allows you to see if the system works for your business needs.
