General Business ServicesScheduling & Shift Management3MediumShift Worker
Employees are penalized by the scheduling system when they add details to an existing shift without changing time or location, because the system treats it as a new shift requiring manager approval, and a denial can come with insufficient notice.
The existing scheduling software lacks a way to distinguish between substantive changes (time/location) and minor additions (notes, details), causing unnecessary approval workflows and short-notice denials.
