Employee scheduling
made easy

Employee scheduling software is a suite of tools that can help busy managers organize their workforce more efficiently and streamline their workflow with solutions for:

– Complex shift scheduling
– Integrated time tracking
– Labor-cost control
– Overtime control
– Quick and easy communication
– Cloud-based distribution
– Clock-in/clock-out control
– Multiple-location administration
– Geofencing
– Task management

The best employee scheduling software — like Sling — incorporates all of those elements (and more) into one powerful app that can help maximize the productivity and efficiency of your team.

Sling’s built-in time clock makes it easy to track employee hours and manage every aspect of your employees’ work hours — time off, availability, shift-trade requests — without collecting, sorting, or collating a huge stack of paper.

Sling turns any phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop into a clock-in/clock-out station and allows your employees to start and stop their time from any device or from a dedicated terminal.

You can also set up geofences around your business or other work areas so that if an employee isn’t inside that boundary, they can’t clock in.

Similarly, you can also use geofences to automatically stop tracking time if an employee steps outside the boundaries you’ve set.

With Sling, you can calculate labor costs in real time as you schedule your employees.

After you input employee names, positions, and pay rates, Sling will show you what each shift will cost (as you add employees to the roster) and notify you if a shift exceeds your labor budget.

For even more help calculating labor costs, Sling automatically imports hours worked after your team members clock in and out and allows you to create reports on a single shift, day, week, month, or year.

Once you’ve created a Sling account, you can add an employee to your roster by clicking the Add employee button on the Employees page (you can enter the information manually or import it from a file).

Once you enter their name and either a valid email address or phone number, you’ll have the option to send them an invitation via email or text message to join you on Sling.

You can also choose not to send the invitation right away so you can get everything set up the way you want it first and go back and invite them later.

When your employees receive the invitation, they’ll be instructed to click a link to set up their account, create a password, and join your business’s domain. After that, they’ll be able to access all of the features Sling has to offer.

Sling offers three levels of access — Admin, Manager, and Employee — for different responsibilities.

As an Admin, you have full access to all of your business’s settings and employees and can create shift schedules, assign tasks, and communicate with your team across all locations.

Those you assign as Managers can create shift schedules and manage employees within the locations you designate.

Those you assign as Employees can view their schedules, initiate shift exchanges, update their availability, and request time off, but they don’t have the ability to make permanent changes like Managers and Admins do.

Whether you manage a team of two in a single location or a team of 200+ across multiple locations, Sling can help you keep everything running smoothly.
