Employees can clock in and out with the mobile app to easily track their time, confirm they’ll work the published shift schedule and get reminders of upcoming shifts and breaks. They can ask to swap shifts, and managers can approve or deny requests. Managers are notified if an employee has not punched in or out. To fill a shift at short notice, managers no longer need to dig out a list of phone numbers. In the mobile app, they can easily see who’s available and who will not affect labor targets with overtime.
