Can you help us with Days Off requests and Trade Requests?
Yes. Shift Agent provides an easy way for employees to create their own shift trades with other employees. A manager must approve a trade, but you don't have to do anything until it's time to approve. They can also request Days Off (whole day, partial day, or a range of days) and they must provide a reason. All the requests come in chronological order to help you make the right decision.

How long does it take to setup Shift Agent?
Minutes to hours. The setup guide is very straightforward, and the first two weeks are the biggest adjustment as you get used to the workflow.

Is Shift Agent an auto-scheduler?
One better. Shift Agent organizes scheduling into Operations and People. The recommendation system takes care of operations details. (prevent overtime, distribute hours, recommend based on availability, account for days off, etc) The manager thinks about people as they fill each shift. (Jasmine broke up with Sheldon, so this week we will place them in FOH and BOH respectively) Because a manager is able to take advantage of the Operations recommendations each time a shift is filled, they can make a small investment of time to consider team dynamics and build a great schedule.

Does Shift Agent distribute hours to employees appropriately?
