What Weeksort does
Everything below exists today and is what you get on the first day. Nothing here is a plan.
Positions and qualifications
A position lists the qualifications it needs, and only people who hold all of them can be scheduled to it. Bar licence, key holder, room trained — you name them.
Your hour rules, as warnings
Named sets of limits — hours a day, a week or a month, consecutive days, rest between shifts — applied per person. Break one and Weeksort says so, loudly, and still lets you do it.
The week, to the minute
Shifts of any length, crossing midnight if they have to, needing as many people as they need, in three levels of importance so you know what to fill first.
What your staff want
Five levels, from want a lot to cannot, filed on the open slots they are eligible for — with a cap on how many refusals each person gets.
Time off and unavailability
Recurring unavailability for the class every Tuesday, one-off dates for everything else, and time-off requests that arrive in one place instead of in your messages.
Swaps and open shifts
People can offer a shift to the board, ask to take one, or swap with a colleague. Nothing changes until a manager says yes.
Templates and last week
A week that looks like most weeks, saved once. Or copy any past week, keeping each shift on its weekday, and edit the differences.
Auto-assign that proposes
A solver fills every open slot without breaking a hard rule, favours what people asked for, and balances hours. You review the proposal and commit it, or you do not.
Publishing and change notices
Publishing puts the week in front of your staff. Change a published week and only the people whose shifts moved are told about it.
Reports and exports
Who was scheduled for what over any range, with per-person totals, as a spreadsheet or a CSV. The roster prints as a wall chart.
Twelve languages
English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic and Hebrew, including right-to-left layouts.
On a phone, without a download
It is a website that works on a phone and can be installed to the home screen, so your staff open their shifts the way they open anything else.
What it is not
Weeksort records who is scheduled to work. It does not clock people in or out, it does not calculate pay, and it is not your statutory record of hours worked. If your law requires you to keep hours records, keep them where your law says.
Everything in one place
One workplace, one roster, one week at a time — with a chief manager who owns it, managers who build the schedule, and staff who can see their own.
