SACRAMENTO, Calif. (September 15, 2009) – Owners and managers of small businesses can
now make use of an online employee scheduling tool named “BusyBeeManager,” a web
application designed to manage employee schedules based on employee work roles, work
assignments, shifts and contracts, with the option of saving generated schedules as
templates which can be sent to employees through the internet.
BusyBeeManager provides a framework for a weekly work schedule which can be manually
or automatically assigned to employees. Generating an optimal schedule is made possible
by the product’s auto-assign feature. This feature easily assigns shifts to individuals on a
basis of different rules, like staffing needs, employee availability, schedule of vacation and
agreed number of working hours. With this feature, small businesses that deal with a
diverse group of employees, especially those that have employees working on a part-time
basis may find the application useful.
Company owners or managers can distribute employee schedules by printing them out or
making them viewable online. Each employee is given a username and a password with
which company schedules can be accessed but not edited. Schedules can also be sent
directly to an employee’s email address.
With BusyBeeManager, generated schedules can be saved, used and reused as a template
for assigning schedules for the different batches of employees, a particularly functional
feature since weekly staffing trends tend to be similar. The application claims to shorten
employee scheduling time by 90% due to its efficient and user-friendly features.
‘Online scheduling has never been easy,’ goes the BusyBeeManager tagline. The
scheduling tool provides a fool-proof, accurate and cost-effective system as it allows its
users to view schedules for every day of the week, with roles and names of employees
shown clearly together with their shift or time slot for the day. The schedule is shown in
something that looks like a bar chart which makes it easy for employers to identify specific
employees, and also let employees keep track of their own schedules.
BusyBeeManager offers a 30-day trial for those who sign up a paid plan. There are three
kinds of pricing plans offered by BusyBeeManager, namely the Plus Plan, the Basic Plan
and the Free Plan. The plans differ mainly in terms of the number of employees with which
the product can be used on. Those who sign up for the Free Plan can register up to 15
employees, whereas those who get a Basic Plan can register up to 30 employees. An
unlimited number of employees can be registered by those who subscribe to the Plus Plan.
All payments are made through PAYPAL.
For managers that need to spend more time on the creation and development of their
products and services, the use of a scheduling tool will help cut costs and save valuable
time. The inclusion of part-time workers in the roster of any company’s employees ensures
that different shifting schedules must be noted by the company’s management.
BusyBeeManager gives an online alternative solution to the usual scheduling predicaments
encountered by most business owners and managers today.
