Scheduling

One great feature would be to adjust schedules or reassign shift, create new shift etc on the phone app.

I would really like to be able to run a report for a time period to see who has asked for shift swaps, releases and who has picked them up. Also a date and time stamp when these actions where done.

In the restaurant industry it is pretty common that an employee may work two different job that don't pay the same. For example sometimes they work in the kitchen/expo which is a hourly pay rate only, but then other times they may work as a server or bar back and work off tip share as well which is a lower rate. It would be nice to have that option available when adding new employees and then when the schedule is created we designate which section and pay rate they are at and then when they clock in it will only allow them to clock in under that assigned area/pay rate.

I believe the issue is overnight shifts. Screen shows one total - and print version will be less.

Most states have laws requiring that minors do not work more than a certain number of hours per week. In order to prevent labor law issues, the best feature Jolt scheduling could offer which would make it better than any competitor is to allow employers to enter birthdays on an employee profiles. Then, incorporate the birthday into hour limitations. For instance, in Michigan, minors cannot work more than 24 hours. The schedule should give me a warning if I try to schedule for more than that, similar to overtime.

When putting in the sales revenue projection in week view and then switching to the day view, the projection does not show up. Also, when typing in the sales revenue, it only stays active in the box for a few numbers then unclicks the box and cuts off typing.

Publishing and re-publishing the schedule is not going well. The created or changed schedule does not post immediately, and takes a very long time to post and/or update. This is very problematic when re-publishing, as the changes end up not getting published in time or seen at all. Been awhile with this issue.

The Jolt app is showing the correct schedule that I post, but when the schedule gets emailed to the employees, they are getting shown different shifts/different times/different days they are suppose to work. It's extremely confusing because most of them rely on the emailed version of the schedule.

Any time we try to enter the cost of labor for each day, it's a fight to keep the page from reloading or auto-deleting numbers we type. Every couple of seconds the page freaks out and asks us to reload the whole thing. Not to mention half of the numbers in the box your working on get deleted just before reloading. And some of my crew members can't download the app so we need to be able to edit their availability for them through the admin accounts.

When I approve a time off request, I would like the system to then release them from all the shifts they are schedule for during that time for the other team to be able to pick up.
