Business owners or managers or HR staff who are in the retail and hospitality business world must often face problems when arranging work shift schedule.

Like one of our clients, who creates shift schedules manually. They often experience problems such as lack of coordination effectiveness because schedule making is handled by the HR staff in the head quarters only, while they have many branches. This causes difficulties for the HR staff, both when creating, or when there is a sudden schedule change.

How to Make a Work Shift Schedule

Usually, managers or HR staff will coordinate employees to make work shift schedules for a certain period, for example one month.

In this plan, it is mandatory to ensure employees get a fair schedule by taking into account the following factors:

• 8 hours of work per day
• 1 hour of rest per shift
• days off within a week

There are businesses that allow employees to choose their own schedule, under certain conditions. However, there are also those who have determined employee schedules, which must be obeyed.

However, not infrequently, employees request a schedule change for several reasons, such as illness or a sudden need. This schedule change can disrupt business operations if there is no dedicated system.

Problems in Shift Schedule Settings

At first glance setting shift schedule looks easy, but, many problems are often encountered in its implementation.

For example, when employees want to change schedules on certain days, if there are employees who are sick, or even absent from work without any information.

For businesses that still use manual systems, changes, especially sudden ones, can disrupt operations.

Back to the case of one of Clockster’s clients, they admitted that if there were employees who had sudden leave, they had to check each employee’s schedule manually, seeing who could replace them, and assigning a replacement.
