Frequently Asked Questions
When should I send the weekly schedule?
Friday afternoon for the following week is the standard. This gives staff the weekend to review and flag any conflicts before Monday.
Should I send individual schedules or one team-wide email?
Send individual schedules showing only each staff member's hours. Team-wide schedules expose everyone's hours and availability, which can cause comparison issues and privacy concerns.
