Employee Sheduling Software

[boomer]

Hi Folks

I am trying to track down some php (ie web based) software that will enable me to have a list of available shifts online that freelance / temp / part time etc employees can log in and book themselves as available and booked to cover the shift (if that makes sense).

Does anyone know of anything out there?

I haven't seen anything like this before, but its a great idea!

You may need to get a developer to knock this up for you

EDIT:
Maybe a Wordpress Calendar plugin can be modified to do this?

Hi, I've created something similar recently for a client that would allow your staff to book shifts online etc. It was done in asp.net but pm me if you would like to see a demo.

Depending on how automated you need the process to be, you could use Google Apps for this. You can make a Google Calendar Public (i.e. viewable by everyone from a URL) and then collect information from your contractors etc using Google Docs forms.

If you don't have one already, you can set up a Google Apps account for up to 10 internal users free of charge.

I hope this helps

Surely its no different than table booking php scripts for restaurants. Download such a script and play about with it.

Perhaps not, just means a different number of tables every night, but would need more than 1 person to be able to book the same table and sometimes only a certain "type" of person could book the table if that makes sense

Yes it makes sense. I have got some knowledge of php, and mysql but only really hobby level.

If you need a certain number of people, of different skills, filling certain shifts then you would only need the employee booking in to = a certain if statement or else the booking fails.....

I'm sure there are lots of php experts on here who will be able to advise your properly though.

p.s. Have you tried hotscripts?
