I hated doing schedules… I know that seems like a dire statement, however it is the truth, but no one ever gives the times they want off until it is that time.
In a perfect world, managers would have their employees’ schedules six weeks ahead of time, then the employees would come into the office and provide their managers their requests off, and have the exact afternoon and times they needed off. This would make it too self-explanatory for the manager to set up a schedule. I always told my employees that if I didn’t have their requests at least two weeks ahead of time, they would not get their time off. I had a busy cannabis dispensary that demanded I need numerous employees present at all times. If just one employee doesn’t show up, it makes everyone else suffer; With dispensary employee scheduling systems, I can fill empty spots in seconds and create a schedule in minutes, however once that schedule is generated, I tell the employees they must cover their shift or get someone else to cover it. It helps to make the employees more responsible for themselves and saves me making fifteen calls to cover a shift someone hadn’t shown up for, then dispensary employee scheduling systems have saved me time so I can interact with the cannabis dispensary employees and see where they may need help. I never thought dispensary employee scheduling systems could make such a difference in my work, however it has given me time to do things I would have otherwise overlooked. I don’t know what I did before dispensary employee scheduling systems.
