Team schedule
Review Monster's CRM has a team schedule for planning who works when. Lay out the week's shifts on a grid, one row per person, and publish when it's right. Until then it's a draft only you can see.
Your crew read their shifts on their phone, ask for time off, and trade or hand off shifts with each other, with you approving.
Drafts until you publish
Build the week as a draft. Move shifts around, change your mind, start over. Nobody sees any of it until you hit Publish.
When you publish, only the people whose shifts changed are told, by push, text or email, whichever you tick. Then you can repeat the week up to four weeks ahead.
- Shift grid by person and day
- Publish when ready, notify only who changed
- Copy a week to the next
- Saved templates by weekday
- Draft a schedule from last week
Shortcuts for the weekly rebuild
Copy a week forward for everyone or a few people. Save templates for a typical Monday or Saturday. Or have it draft the schedule from your last published week, skipping anyone on time off or unavailable.
Made a mess of it? Delete unpublished changes and you're back to what the crew can see.
Time off, availability, trades and covers
Crew members send requests from their phones: time off, a change in when they're available, a trade with a teammate, or a cover for a shift they can't make. Whoever you give schedule admin rights to approves or declines.
Approving does the work. Time off lands on the grid, availability updates their profile, and a trade or cover moves the shifts to the right people.
In practice
On a normal Tuesday the owner drafts next week from this week, swaps two Saturday shifts and publishes. Only the two people affected get a text. On Thursday one of them asks a teammate to cover Saturday, the owner approves from their phone, and the shift moves to the teammate's schedule.
Step-by-step help for team schedule is in the Help Center, with short screen recordings.
Open the Help CenterQuestions people ask
Does my crew see shifts before I publish?
No. Shifts are drafts until you publish. Your crew only ever see the published schedule, and only the people whose shifts changed are notified.
Can employees request time off from their phone?
Yes. Crew members can request time off, change their availability, or ask for a trade or cover from their phone, and whoever has schedule admin rights approves it.
Can I copy last week's schedule?
Yes. Copy a whole week forward, use saved templates by weekday, or draft a new week from your last published one.
