Time System

Scheduling and timecards built around what each location actually needs.

Match staffing demand to qualified employees, verify work with geo-targeted timecards, and keep open shifts moving through a controlled marketplace.

Operating loop

Plan the work, fill the schedule, verify the shift.

Needs-based assignments Coverage rules by location, role, time window, and required readiness.
Geo-targeted timecards Clock-in verification with location context and manager exception review.
Shift marketplace Open shifts, pickup rules, swaps, approvals, and broadcast coverage.

Needs-based scheduling

Build schedules from staffing requirements instead of empty calendar blocks.

The system starts with what a location needs: role coverage, availability, certifications, training status, budget guardrails, and operating hours. Managers get a staffing plan that shows where the schedule is strong and where it still needs attention.

Assignment logic that respects the operation.

Use demand rules to assign qualified employees, flag gaps, and keep coverage balanced across sites.

  • Set staffing templates by location, role, weekday, or event type.
  • Match employees by availability, certification, training, pay context, and location fit.
  • Surface overtime risk, missing readiness, and unfilled requirements before publishing.
  • Publish schedules with employee notifications and manager audit context.

Timecards with location proof

Make clock events useful for payroll review, not just raw timestamps.

Geo targeting connects clock-ins to the assigned work location. When something is off, managers see the context immediately: distance, assigned shift, device timestamp, and employee note.

Marketplace shift management

Keep coverage moving without losing control of who can take the work.

Publish open shifts to eligible employees, allow qualified pickups and swaps, and route exceptions to a manager before the schedule changes. The marketplace gives employees flexibility while preserving staffing rules.

2

Limit by eligibility

Show shifts only to employees who match readiness, availability, overtime, and location rules.

What teams gain

Competitive scheduling depth without separating the work from employee operations.

Fewer manual coverage scrambles

Managers see exactly which needs are open, who can work them, and which shifts can move through the marketplace.

Cleaner timecard approval

Geo-targeting and shift context help reviewers distinguish normal clock events from corrections that need attention.

Better employee flexibility

Employees can pick up, swap, and respond to eligible work without bypassing readiness or location rules.
