Welcome to OBS Workforce Scheduling

The Workforce Scheduling module helps organizations plan and manage employee shifts efficiently. By assigning shift codes to each day, managers (and other authorized users) can create structured schedules well in advance, accurately capturing regular hours, absences, sick leave, remote work, or business trips.

Because of its fully integrated design, the module automatically updates schedules whenever a vacation, overtime, or business travel request is approved, and also indicates remote work status with distinctive house icons. Real-time data flows seamlessly among modules — eliminating manual re-entry, reducing errors, and giving teams a unified, at-a-glance view of who is working, when, and where.

Powerful BI (Business Intelligence) capabilities provide monthly and quarterly statistics, including export options for accounting and payroll. Rights can be delegated so that team leads can manage schedules on behalf of their departments or specific groups. Ultimately, Workforce Scheduling offers a robust, flexible system to ensure every hour is accounted for and every shift is covered.
