With Shiftee, you can plan shifts that fit into all work schedule cases.

Use templates to plan the repeated work schedules for multiple employees.
This can help you to highly minimize your time spent on scheduling.

Shiftee provides 2 different types of scheduling system. Use either way to schedule shifts.
