Shift Management FAQ

Common questions from managers evaluating shift management software.

What is shift management software?

Shift management software is a digital tool that helps managers create, publish, and track employee work shifts. It replaces spreadsheets and paper schedules with a centralized system that shows real-time coverage, prevents scheduling conflicts, controls overtime costs, and sends shift notifications to workers. Good shift management software also matches the right worker to each shift based on skills, availability, and certifications.

How is shift management different from employee scheduling?

Employee scheduling is the act of creating a schedule. Shift management is the full lifecycle: building shifts, publishing them to workers, tracking who has confirmed, handling swaps and callouts, monitoring coverage in real time, and analyzing labor costs. Shift management encompasses scheduling but also includes communication, tracking, and optimization.

How does shift management software prevent overtime?

Shift management software tracks each worker's accumulated hours in real time. When you assign a shift that would push a worker into overtime, the system alerts you before you publish. You can set daily and weekly overtime thresholds, and the software will flag any shift assignment that violates them. This prevents costly surprise overtime before it happens, not after.

Can shift management software handle shift swaps and open shifts?

Yes. Senzii includes shift swap and open shift management. When a worker needs to swap a shift, they post it to the swap board. Qualified coworkers can claim it, and the manager approves with one click. For open shifts that need filling, the system automatically identifies eligible workers based on skills, availability, and overtime status, then sends targeted notifications.

How much does shift management software cost?

Senzii costs $5 per seat per month with all features included. There are no tiered plans, no setup fees, and no per-location charges. A 10-person team costs $50/month. A 50-person team costs $250/month. Every feature — shift building, coverage tracking, overtime alerts, swap management, conflict detection, and smart matching — is included from day one.

Does shift management software work for multiple locations?

Yes. Senzii supports multi-location shift management. You can create shifts for each location, assign workers across sites, and view coverage for all locations in a single dashboard. Workers can pick up shifts at any location they are approved for, and the system respects travel time and distance when matching workers to shifts.
