Wide range of scheduling solutions to fit your industry
Keep labor costs down and scheduling under control
The old-fashioned way of posting a shift schedule in the breakroom or even emailing a spreadsheet with the team schedule takes too long to manage, introduces the potential for errors and opens the door to miscommunication that can lead to dropped shifts, missed pay, fire drills, excessive overtime, compliance issues and frustrated employees and managers.
Perhaps it’s time to put away the whiteboard and close the spreadsheet. You just don’t need them anymore. Not when a diverse array of organizations leverage TCP’s scheduling tools each and every day to optimize staffing levels, reduce labor costs and improve employee engagement across a variety of departments and functions.
From public safety to hospitals to the mid-sized manufacturer and more, our online employee scheduling solutions help to clear the clutter for hassle-free scheduling that helps you ensure the right people know where and when they’re expected to work.
Learn why scheduling is a key component to managing your workforce
TimeClock Plus Scheduling helps organizations by providing both basic and more complex scheduling capabilities, such as coverage assurance, qualification requirements for shifts, CBA compliance and employee shift swaps.
Standard Employee Scheduling
Build work schedules as needed or create a schedule with up to 8 recurring unique weeks. Templates can be deployed to simplify setup and changes can be made either globally or at the employee level.
Scheduling exceptions track anomalies against the schedule so you can focus on addressing non-conformance. The ability to monitor late arrivals and absences or punch times that don’t comply with policy can help you quickly uncover potential issues before they cost your organization money or time.
Advanced Employee Scheduling
TimeClock Plus Advanced Scheduling helps organizations that have more dynamic and complex scheduling needs, such as coverage assurance, qualification requirements for shifts, CBA compliance and employee shift swaps.
The Advanced Scheduler shift calendar offers a quick and easy way for managers to fill open shifts and the shift roster allows schedule swapping and drop requests to be initiated by employees, enabling managers to spend less time managing schedules and more time leading their team toward organizational goals.
Government agencies, especially those in public safety, who work with unions and require minimum coverage to maintain established staffing standards will benefit from the capabilities available with the Advanced Scheduler.

What can TCP’s employee scheduling solutions do for you?
Maintain control of labor costs and unnecessary overtime
Overtime should be used strategically to help you deliver on a business goal, whether that’s providing better service for your customers during a busy time of year or increasing throughput to meet an important deadline.
Use employee time and attendance data to understand the overtime situation for each employee so you can proactively account for it when necessary and reduce it when unnecessary.
Increase workforce flexibility and reduce burnout
Optimal scheduling accommodates flexibility for your business and your employees, enabling you to improve productivity and morale simultaneously.
You’ll have the tools to reduce overstaffing and understaffing with real-time data that already exists in the system, enabling you to schedule around planned leave and/or react quickly to unplanned absences.
Stay compliant with labor laws
Maintain complete visibility and control over who’s working and when to ensure you stay ahead of federal, state and local labor law requirements.
Audit logs, customized workflows and specialized document repositories will help you stay on the right side of your next audit.
Build a more productive workplace
Automating elements of your scheduling process with software means your managers will spend less time dealing with time off requests, unexpected conflicts between the schedule and employee availability, and other related scheduling issues.
Instead, they can spend more time focused on projects that drive value for the organization, solve problems for stakeholders, create more revenue opportunities, streamline costs and boost productivity.
