The restaurant, retail, and service industries are plagued by fluctuating labor costs, minimum wage rules, and complex overtime regulations. Although overtime and minimum wage regulations affect each state and country in different ways, several areas stand out with complicated overtime rules (such as California and New York labor laws, or many European countries).

TimeForge now understands many of these complex rules, and makes sure to schedule employees in a manner that minimizes overtime when using our AutoScheduler™ tool. When overtime is likely to occur, you and your management team will receive a warnings while making the schedule, and again before you post your schedule. Additionally, TimeForge calculates overtime for all employee shift swaps, and warns your team if the exchange will create overtime for the employee picking up the shift.

How long does it take to make your employee labor schedule? It should take less than 5 minutes! Did you know that TimeForge can streamline and minimize labor costs through effective employee scheduling at your retail business, restaurant, bar, club, or hotel?
