Staff Scheduling is a web-based employee scheduling platform from Get Staff Scheduling that turns team availability, time-off requests, and shift requirements into published staff rotas, with a mobile experience for managers and staff.
What is Staff Scheduling?
Staff Scheduling is employee scheduling software for shift-based businesses: managers invite staff into a workspace, build weekly schedules, and publish them so employees can check shifts, request swaps, and ask for time off from one dashboard. It runs in the browser at app.getstaffscheduling.ca and is built by a Canadian vendor that positions the product for Canadian businesses while listing users in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, and Singapore. The page advertises setup in under 10 minutes and cites 2,000+ teams, 500K+ shifts managed, and 1M+ hours saved.
What makes Staff Scheduling stand out?
- Smart shift planning — managers create and publish employee schedules with conflict detection that flags double-bookings and overtime risk before a schedule goes live.
- Shift swap system — employees request exchanges with available co-workers, and managers review and approve each request instead of coordinating over group texts.
- Availability and leave management — availability tracking and time-off requests with approvals appear in every plan, including the entry Starter tier.
- Multi-location control — one dashboard covers 1 location on Starter, 10 on Growth, and 25 on Company, with 5, 25, and 50 departments respectively.
- Team chat and announcements — built-in workplace messaging and schedule announcements start at the Growth plan.
- Reports and exports — advanced analytics and exportable reports are Growth-tier features; the closing feature strip also lists payroll exports, time and attendance, labor compliance, overtime alerts, automated reminders, and location GPS tracking.
- Mobile apps — the iOS App Store and Google Play listings are marked "Coming Soon", while mobile app access is sold as a Growth-plan feature.
Who is it for?
- Restaurant and café owners: build weekly rotas around peak service hours, then let staff trade shifts without phone chains.
- Clinic administrators: track nurse and front-desk availability and approve leave so each day has the right staffing mix.
- Retail store managers: schedule around student class timetables and monitor overtime before it hits payroll.
- Multi-site operations leads in logistics, construction, fitness, or transport: keep drivers, crews, and trainers visible across branches from one dashboard.
What can you do with Staff Scheduling?
- Restaurants and cafés: publish weekly schedules from reusable templates, plus an open shift pool on the Company plan to fill gaps.
- Clinics and healthcare teams: route time-off requests and availability changes through approvals instead of messages, so shift coverage stays visible.
- Retail chains: compare labor hours against budgets with advanced analytics and exportable reports, then export data for payroll.
- Franchise and multi-location operators: invite employees by email magic link, assign them to departments, and manage every branch from a single workspace.
How does Staff Scheduling work?
The vendor walks through five steps: onboard your team by adding business details and inviting employees, create and manage employee shifts, track reports and team insights, keep the team connected through chat and notifications, and manage multiple locations from one dashboard.
