Daily Schedule Maker

A daily schedule is a type of work scheduling plan that details, in addition to work shifts, an employee’s various tasks at specific times of the day.

The daily schedule gives the manager a better overview of their workforce on a day-to-day basis. This type of schedule must be drawn up every day.

To create a daily schedule, here are a few details to include:

• Employees’ first and last names
• Employee’s positions
• Work shifts
• Paid breaks
• Unpaid breaks
• Labor costs
