Shift Scheduler Free

A weekly shift rota for a small team

Plan the week in a grid, publish it when it is ready, and your team sees exactly what was published - with an email that lists their own shifts. Overnight shifts and daylight-saving changes are counted in real hours, double-booking is refused, and approved leave or short rest between shifts is flagged before you publish.

  • Free with your A2Z account
  • No ads inside the portal
  • Phone and desktop

Everything you need, nothing you do not

Draft, then publish

Change the rota as often as you like; members only see the published week. Publishing sends one email per person with their shifts - once per publish.

Conflicts before they happen

The same person twice at once is refused. Approved leave from Leave & Time Off, short rest between shifts and times someone marked as unavailable are flagged.

Overnight and time-zone safe

A 22:00-06:00 shift ends the next morning, and a shift across a daylight-saving change is counted in the hours actually worked.

Copy last week

Start a new week from the previous one in one click - nobody is double-booked, and anything that no longer fits is listed.

Hours per person

Weekly paid hours for each person, after breaks, on the rota and in the CSV export. No pay rates are stored.

Pro extras

Open shifts your team claims (exactly one person gets each), shift swaps a manager approves, more people and locations, and a private calendar feed for each member.

Questions

Is there a limit?

The free plan covers 5 people, 1 location and 100 shifts a month. Publishing, editing, history and export are never limited.

What do my team members see?

Only the published rota and their own shifts. Drafts, conflict flags and anyone's leave stay with the owners and admins.

How are overnight shifts counted?

A shift that ends at or before its start time ends the next day. Hours are real elapsed time, so a night across a daylight-saving change is an hour longer or shorter.

Does it handle pay?

No. It counts paid hours after breaks; there are no pay rates or payroll in the app.

Who can see my data?

You and the people you invite to your workspace, with the role you give them - guests see only what is explicitly shared with them. Every request is checked on the server. Your personal notes, tasks and contacts are never shared. Nothing is sold or used for ads - the portal has no ads at all.

Can I export it?

Yes, on every plan: a CSV of the rota (owners and admins) or of your own shifts.
