Employee Schedule Partner: A Simple Tool Of The TradeOne of the most important, and most difficult, tasks any business has is setting up and maintaining a schedule. There are now many different types of software programs that can help: Employee Schedule Partner is one of these useful tools. This is an easy-to-use, very basic scheduling program that also allows you to track your employees and run reports. All you need to do is enter your employees' information into the program: their basic personnel information and then their availability. Creating the schedule is now as simple as pushing a button. If you need to create a new schedule, just enter the date, select/highlight any employees with time or availability constraints, add in any additional time slots you need covered, press Enter and Voila! You have your new schedule! It is very easy to enter the schedules, made even easier with a step-by-step set up wizard, but one of the drawbacks of this particular program is that what is displayed on your monitor is extremely difficult to read. Although Employee Scheduling Partner is a very basic program, it does offer several decent reporting options. Some of these include vacation time, employee availability as well as daily and weekly schedules. There is a major drawback here in that this program does not allow you to view calendar formats showing your schedules by the week, month or year. If you like or need to do advance scheduling, this may not be the program you will want to stay with. If you or your small company need only a rudimentary schedule set up, then this is definitely worth your while. Employee Schedule Partner is what is known as a time clock software. It was created by espsoftware.com and earned a four star SoftSea Rating because of it's easy to use point and click capabilities. Once you've entered in the basic employee information, the program will do the rest of the work in setting up a schedule for you. One worthwhile feature it does have is that it will help you replace any absent employees: it automatically displays a list of all available employees with their phone numbers which is great when you need to quickly find someone to cover a shift. It even has the capability of autodialing those employee numbers for you, another bonus if you're in a hurry. If you're unfamiliar with SoftSea.com, they are a software program review site.
