What it does and why it helps.
Multiple locations
Stores share one workspace schedule, with location filters, hours and targets. Multiple locations require the Salon plan.
Managers inspect each site without splitting the roster into separate workspaces.
Cover requests
Staff ask for cover and a manager approves it.
Changes stay visible and under manager control.
Documents
Store procedures are kept with the team.
Keep store procedures available in the shared team hub.
Schedules are planned privately, reviewed, then published as a whole workspace. Sending published schedules by email is a separate step, and you can resend later.
Keep daily work connected.
Locations
Per-store hours and staffing targets (Salon plan for unlimited locations)
Each shift is assigned to a site.

Documents

Before you start
Can we start with one schedule?
Yes. Set up staff, positions and business hours, collect availability, then build a private plan. Review changes before publishing all workspace changes. You can import staff and draft shifts from a spreadsheet or another scheduling tool’s export; start with a manageable period.
Do staff need to install an app?
Staff can use the browser portal. Ask the manager for the approved companion-app install route if you prefer it. Requests and other tools depend on individual permissions; internet access is required.
Does this replace our other systems?
No. Keep booking, specialist industry tools, accounting and payroll in their own systems. WorkShift supports staffing decisions, coordination and reviewed hours; it does not certify staffing sufficiency or run payroll.
Build, check, review, publish, and share.
Check configured staffing targets, then review all workspace changes before publication. Publication can queue change notices; monthly schedule-email resends are separate.
01
Build the week
Place shifts around staff, availability, time off, roles, hours, and locations.
02
Check coverage
Compare the plan with configured targets and inspect exact gaps before assigning.
03
Review changes
Check private edits and conflicts across the workspace before you publish.
04
Publish
Make the reviewed workspace schedule visible to staff.
05
Share with staff
Staff can check published shifts in the app or portal; email is a separate step.
Check access and setup before rollout
Staff self-service tools depend on per-person permissions; cover claims need manager approval. Owners and individually pay-approved managers can review pay reports. Time-clock records need review and do not process payroll. Solo and Studio support one location; Salon supports multiple locations. Email and optional opted-in text alerts require configured providers. Ask your manager for the current approved staff-app install route; public app-store availability is not confirmed.
