Can employees see their own schedules?

Yes. Employees have access to their own schedule view, so they can see assigned shifts without seeing management-only scheduling tools.

Detailed answer

BetterDesks separates management scheduling from employee self-service. Admins and schedulers can manage the broader schedule, while employees can access their own assigned shifts through the employee experience.

That schedule context matters for attendance. When an employee clocks in, BetterDesks tries to match the attendance record to a scheduled shift on the same day within the allowed matching window. If there is not exactly one valid match, the work is treated as unscheduled and handled according to organization settings.

Automatic schedule-change notifications are not part of BetterDesks today, so teams should use their normal communication process for urgent schedule updates.

Example

A staffing agency assigns workers to client sites for the week. Employees sign in and see their own upcoming assignments. When they arrive and clock in, BetterDesks can connect the attendance record to the matching shift when the timing and assignment line up.

How BetterDesks helps

BetterDesks gives employees visibility into their own schedule while keeping schedule creation, shift edits, and timesheet review in the hands of admins and schedulers.
