WhenToWork does not create shifts based on Employee
preferences, it assigns shifts based on those preferences.
Our system does allow you, week by week, to Import a previous week or
template or manually enter the shifts you need covered and use our "AutoFill"
feature to automatically assign that week's shifts based on your Employees
entered preferences, availability,
approved time off,
constraints, skills, etc.
Each Employee can enter their own preference information, or you can enter it
for them.
Our system assumes that you know the shift begin and end times and that you have
entered an initial set shifts into your schedule before using AutoFill to
assign the shifts.
You can create or import your needed shifts and then
Publish the schedule and
allow Employees to pick up the shifts they prefer off the tradeboard (
create shorter shifts (ex. 2 hour shifts) into your schedule to meet your
coverage needs, then use AutoFill to assign those shorter shifts to your
Employees based on their availability.
