Scheduling questions
FAQs
Can I try scheduling before creating an account?
Yes. The schedule maker gives you a full editable week in the browser with no account. It covers drafting, editing, printing, CSV export, and reusing next week.
Does the schedule maker notify my team?
The browser tool does not notify employees. Choose Share roster to create an account and save your draft, including people, positions, shift templates, and shifts. Publish from CrewCentral; email updates are sent when notifications are enabled.
What does the app do that the free tool does not?
The free tool is for editing, printing, and exporting a roster saved in your browser. A CrewCentral account adds team availability, AI rostering, publishing, a mobile app, shift check-ins, and employee cover requests.
Can AI create an employee schedule?
CrewCentral can generate a roster draft around availability, role skills, and coverage. Managers review and adjust the assignments before publishing. AI rostering is available with an account; the free browser tool lets you build the roster yourself.
Does scheduling check labor law for me?
CrewCentral helps you spot availability conflicts, double bookings, and short rest gaps. You still need to check local labor rules yourself.
