Shift planning and absence management for teams
The cashwerk Work Manager combines shift planning, absence management, and capacity control in one module—fully integrated with time tracking, projects, and the team calendar.
For companies with shift work, field teams, or project staff, scheduling is a daily challenge. Who is available when? Are vacation requests in conflict? How loaded is next week? The Work Manager answers these questions in one place and avoids the planning mistakes common with spreadsheets or isolated scheduling tools.
You build rosters per user, project, and organization. In the timeline view, leads see planned assignments for everyone, duplicate shifts, and adjust as needed. Linking to projects ensures the right people are assigned. Planned shifts convert to time entries with one click—from plan to documented hours.
Absence management covers vacation, sickness, training, and other leave. Employees submit requests that managers approve or reject in a workflow. The system calculates remaining vacation automatically with holidays and working days—no fragile manual spreadsheets.
For workforce planning, capacity views show how many hours are scheduled next week, who is overloaded, and who has capacity. Together with dashboard KPIs for hours and absences, leadership keeps a clear view of team utilization.
