Shift Scheduling

Driver Schedule’s Shift Scheduling feature gives businesses a structured way to collect employee availability while maintaining control over staffing needs.

Managers create an inventory of shifts, using a simple upload or manual entry, and set how many employees are needed for each shift on any given day. Different shifts can be set up for different vehicle types or shift categories. Employees then select from the available shifts during the shift selection period to show when they are available to work. Once a shift has the number of employees it needs, it is no longer available for more selections.

Shift Scheduling is a good fit for companies that use past metrics and usage to forecast future needs and manage fleet capacity. It works in real time and can notify drivers when shifts still need availability.

Employee Availability with Shift Selection

For businesses that know their staffing requirements in advance, Driver Schedule lets managers create the shifts they need and decide how many employees can be available for each one. Employees select only from the shifts made available to them. That gives them flexibility in saying when they can work while helping managers keep the right staffing levels.

Shift Selection Priority Groups let you give groups or individual drivers early access before shift selection opens to everyone. Priority can follow any internal order, such as experience, time with the company or pay rate.

Managers can monitor the availability collected for each shift and see where more availability is still needed. From there they can notify selected employees about those shifts, or add drivers to a shift manually.

Shift Selection represents employee availability. Selecting a shift does not necessarily mean the employee has been scheduled or assigned to work during that period.
