Frequently asked questions

Can staff view their schedule on their phones?

Yes. Share the Google Sheets link with your team and they can view their shifts on any device. For view-only access, share with ‘Viewer’ permission so staff can see but not edit.

How do I handle shift swaps?

The template includes a swap request column. When a team member requests a change, log it in the column with the new arrangement and mark the original shift as covered.

Can I track sick days and holidays alongside the schedule?

Yes. The absence tab records all types of leave — sick days, annual leave, and unpaid absence — alongside the rota so the full attendance picture is always in one place.
