Employee scheduling

The best employee scheduling software helps you build schedules fast, handle changes without the usual back-and-forth, and keep every team member on the latest version. Shiftbase is built for shift-based teams that want to replace spreadsheets, reduce admin, and manage swaps, availability, leave, and hours in one place.

Restaurants, hotels, and retail teams usually need the same things: fast rota building, easy shift changes, mobile access for staff, and a clear view of coverage. Shiftbase is designed for shift-based teams that need to keep schedules running smoothly in fast-moving environments.

Yes. Shiftbase connects scheduling with time tracking, leave, and payroll, so approved hours move through more cleanly and admin does not build up at the end of the week. That helps teams reduce manual handovers between scheduling and payroll.

Look for rota management software that does more than help you publish a schedule. The best tools also help your team manage swaps, open shifts, availability, and leave in one place, while giving managers a live view of what is covered, changed, or still open. That is what helps the schedule stay done after publish.

By automating key tasks: shift swaps, absence tracking, compliance checks, and payroll data are handled efficiently. The system reduces manual errors and frees your team to focus on what matters.
