Multi-location scheduling

Schedule staff across locations

Having enough people for the day does not help if one site is still short. ElShift lets managers plan across locations, record where an employee can work and set staffing minimums for each place.

In short

Locations can represent separate worksites or work areas. Managers can set a minimum headcount by location and shift template, assign employees to a specific location, and use Auto Assign to fill those needs before general shift coverage. Multiple Locations are available on Professional and higher plans.

Separate a person's preference from their assignment

An employee can have a preference for or suitability at a Location. The schedule records the Location they are actually assigned to, and that assignment counts toward the location's coverage.

Set a staffing need for each place

A shift can have an overall headcount and separate minimums for selected Locations. Managers can see the difference between a fully staffed shift and one where a particular site still needs people.

Use Locations for sites or work areas

A Location may represent a separate physical site or an area within a site. Departments serve a different purpose: they provide separate team workspaces and management boundaries on Business and Enterprise.
