Staff Scheduling and Attendance Tips

Managing team schedules across shifts can be complex. myStaff simplifies scheduling, geofenced mobile time clocking, and payroll reporting.

1. Plan Shifts in Advance

Creating rosters at least 2 weeks in advance reduces employee stress and helps you identify coverage gaps early. Use the myStaff roster builder to duplicate templates with one click.

2. Enable Shift Swaps

Allowing employees to swap shifts directly through the mobile app saves manager time. You can set the system to require manager approval before shifts are officially swapped.

3. Configure Geofenced Clock-ins

Ensure employees only clock in when they are actually at the job site. You can set a custom boundary radius (e.g., 100 meters) around each office or retail branch.
