Schedule Your Staff

You can use the Schedules feature and the Centralized Schedules feature to schedule your employees and perform a number of other scheduling tasks.

As you create schedules for your location, Dayforce can show information about your staffing levels so that you know when you’re under- or overstaffed at any point during the week. Dayforce also checks your schedule for problems, such as scheduling overlapping shifts or scheduling employees when they’re unavailable, and alerts you while you’re making the schedule if it contains any issues.
