What is the best way to schedule employees?

It depends on team size and working patterns, but a shared roster that everyone can see - with week-offs and leave in the same place - is easier to keep right than a spreadsheet passed around by email.

Can employee scheduling software track working hours?

Goalz.Work records when each shift starts at the employee's first login and tracks working time through timers on tasks, so planned and actual time can be compared.

Can Goalz.Work manage employee time off?

Yes. Leave Management covers leave requests, balances, team approvals and the holiday calendar in the same platform as the roster.

Can I connect employee schedules with projects?

Yes. Goalz.Work includes Projects & Tasks, so the people on a roster are the same people assigned to sprints and tasks, and their time is logged against that work.

Is it suitable for small businesses?

Yes. Teams of any size can use it once a spreadsheet stops being enough to manage shifts, week-offs and leave.

Does scheduling replace timesheets?

No - they answer different questions. The schedule says when someone is expected to work; timesheets record the time they actually logged. Goalz.Work keeps both in one place.

Can employees see their schedule remotely?

Goalz.Work is a web application, so employees and managers can open it from any browser, wherever they are working.

What is employee scheduling software?

Employee scheduling software is a digital system for planning who works when. Instead of spreadsheets or messaging groups, managers build shift rosters in one place and employees see their schedule there. Goalz.Work connects scheduling with the rest of the working day: attendance is recorded against the scheduled shift when an employee logs in, time is tracked on the tasks they work on, and approved leave and holidays sit in the same system - so planned and actual time come from one source instead of three.

Key features

Scheduling that connects to the work.

Shift timings

Define each shift once - name, code, colour, start and end time. Night shifts and total hours are worked out automatically.

Team shift roster

Pick a team and a date range and assign a shift per employee per day, or apply one shift to many people and dates at once.

Week-offs and work type

Mark week-offs and no-shift days in the roster, and set each person as full-time or part-time.

Attendance at login

The first login of the day is recorded against the scheduled shift, with late arrivals flagged and a reason captured.

Time on tasks

Employees start, pause and stop a timer on the task they are working on, so hours are tied to real work.

Leave and holidays

Leave requests, balances, approvals and the holiday calendar live in the same platform as the roster.

Roster builder

Build the roster for a whole team in minutes.

Choose a team and a period - a whole month or a custom range - and the roster opens as a grid of employees by day. Click a cell to set it, or select several people and dates and apply one value to all of them in a single step.

Shift, week-off or no-shift per employee per day

Bulk assign never overwrites an existing week-off

Plan up to three months at a time

Planned vs actual

The schedule is the yardstick for the day.

Because shifts, attendance and time tracking share one employee record, Goalz can compare what was planned with what happened: when the shift started, whether the employee logged in late, and how many hours were logged on tasks against the shift's hours.

Hours you can trust

Managers review the hours before they count.

At the end of a sprint the project manager approves each task's logged hours as they are, or moderates them to a different figure with a reason. The developer's own logged time is kept, so every adjustment stays visible.

Approve as logged, or moderate with a reason

A sprint can't close until every task's hours are reviewed

Approved hours feed productivity and project reports
