Nearly 60% of workers in the U.S. are hourly employees. But managing staffing needs, budgets, credentials, and schedule changes can become a full-time job—and only gets more complicated as organizations get larger. Paylocity helps ensure appropriate shift coverage, minimize unplanned costs, and increase employee engagement—helping to minimize no-show rate.

How Scheduling Helps Supervisors
Ensure Coverage by Role or Location
Rather than scheduling at the individual employee level, use role-based scheduling and location-based scheduling to ensure you have the coverage you need.
Don’t Stress About Qualifications
The system checks skills and certifications (including expirations) when assessing the employees shown as available to work based on role—so you don’t have to.
Minimize Unplanned Costs
Based on your unique historical punch data, Paylocity can surface estimated hours required for future workdays to help ensure appropriate coverage. Real-time alerts help avoid the extra costs of overtime.
Empower Employees and Minimize No-Shows
Set schedules and capacity needs and empower your employees to claim open shifts or even swap shifts with peers if their plans change.
Make Updates Anytime, Anywhere
With the Paylocity mobile app, busy managers can view schedules and make updates on the go. When you add, edit, or delete shifts, employees are notified in real time.
Easily Manage Compliance
Set established lunches and breaks, shift rules, and even validate skills and certifications. Employee rates and overtime are automatically considered.
