Frequently Asked Questions
What is Homebase's employee schedule template?
Homebase offers a free online template that managers can use to create employee schedules, with features like shift scheduling, payroll management, and mobile apps.
How is Homebase's template better than Excel for scheduling?
Homebase specializes in employee scheduling with options Excel lacks like managing labor costs, rotating schedules, tracking hours worked, and adjusting staffing.
Want to spend even less time on your schedule planning while still making the best schedule possible? You can simply put your shift planning on autopilot with Homebase. Our auto-scheduling feature will copy over last week’s schedule, taking yet another task off your list for the day.
Then, our auto-scheduling tool will distribute schedules to your employees automatically so they can prepare for the next week with advance notice, making their lives easier and more convenient.
Can employees update their availability in Homebase?
Yes, employees can update availability real-time in Homebase and even swap shift on the schedule template with manager approval.
Homebase allows you to spend less time managing employee schedule changes and shift swaps. Your employees can simply use the free employee app, available on both Android and iOS. In the app, they will always be able to see the latest schedule, and they’ll have the option to request shift trades right there on their mobile device.
The schedule can be sent through email, text messages, and even through the communication tool in the app. Once they see it, you will receive a confirmation, so you’ll have a pulse on who is up to date on the shift planning and who is not.
Your employees will even be able to update their availability, which is crucial for creating a schedule that works for everyone and won’t need to be modified as much based on when everyone can work. What’s more, you will always get a notification to approve those shift swap requests, keeping you in control of any changes that are going on.
Maintaining this ease of shift trading and availability updating greatly reduces the possibility of no-shows, errors in work hours, and time spent on building the schedule in the first place.

Homebase saves 4-5 hours per week typically spent on manual scheduling and payroll tasks thanks to its automation.
