ElShift workforce scheduling features
See how ElShift helps managers plan shifts, assign staff with Auto Assign, and keep leave, working patterns, hours, locations, and staffing needs in view.
Automatic shift scheduling
Automatic shift scheduling for teams with real coverage needs
Set the shifts and headcount your team needs. Auto Assign places suitable employees while taking leave, work patterns, hours, locations, and scheduling rules into account.
Employee scheduling rules
Build schedules around leave, hours and staffing needs
See how Auto Assign uses leave, employee preferences, work patterns, weekly-hour limits, locations, and staffing needs when placing people into shifts.
Employee scheduling preferences
Employee scheduling preferences, work patterns and leave
Record employee weekday and shift preferences, location suitability, leave, repeating work patterns, and weekly-hour limits for shift planning.
Employee shift swaps
Employee shift swaps reviewed by a manager
Employees can request a shift swap in Employee Hub. The other employee can respond, and a manager decides whether to approve it. An approved swap updates the published schedule.
Attendance & time clock
Employee attendance, time clock, and timesheet context
Employees can clock in, pause, resume, and clock out in Employee Hub. The published schedule stays as planned; attendance records the time actually worked.
Schedule conflict validation
Manual schedule conflict warnings and assignment review
ElShift checks supported manual schedule changes before they are applied. It blocks invalid changes and lets managers review eligible warnings before continuing.
Work patterns
Repeating work patterns and rotating shift cycles
Plan repeating work and rest cycles—such as four days on and four days off—without rebuilding the same rotation every week.
Multi-location scheduling
Schedule staff across locations
Plan shifts across sites or work areas and see whether each location has the people it needs.
Staffing coverage
See which shifts still need people
Set the number of people each shift needs and spot open coverage, including location-level gaps.
Working rules
Set your working rules once.
Set weekly-hour limits, rest periods, shift-transition rules and department holidays. Auto Assign uses supported settings when building schedules.
Timesheet review
Review scheduled and actual employee hours
Compare planned shifts with recorded working time, review daily hours, and export the checked records for use in other systems.
Exports
Schedule and workforce exports
Export team schedules and employee views in PDF, CSV, and Excel formats, with date controls and branding options by plan.
