Workstem scheduling module looks simple but is highly flexible and very powerful.
When it comes to employee shifts, Workstem supports:
Different employees assigned to different shifts and different locations.
One employee, multiple work locations in one day .
One work location, multiple shifts and different assigned employees to each shift.
Overnight shifts.
Arrange employees to work according to the time and progress of the project.

Some companies require employees to work on weekends or overtime. Workstem now supports 7 days a week from Monday to Sunday, which is more user-friendly.
When it comes to internal workflow, Workstem supports:
Separate workflow steps for assigning and confirming shifts – supports shift scheduling by each department supervisor/manager and then approval by general manager or HR before sending to employees.
Check employee workforce based on work location after publishing shifts; adjust shifts and manpower at any time.
