• 1. Poor communication
• Employee to employee communication is usually
  very poor in most organizations and mistakes
  occur daily as a result, especially scheduling
  mistakes. According to managers, a great amount
  of their time is spent talking to their employees
  regarding their assigned shifts. Consequently,
  most telephone lines are engaged all day and
  customers are neglected as a result. A time
  tracking app, on the hand, comes with a web-based
  communication center that eases communication and
  leaves telephone lines free all day and night.
• 2. High labor costs
• In most businesses, workers have different
  qualifications and availabilities. This means
  that they all have different salaries and pay
  rates. As most managers know too well, it can be
  extremely easy to erroneously schedule an
  employee and end up accumulating higher labor
  costs in the process. Overtime is also another
  problem that adds more costs, and more so during
  peak hours when higher coverage is required.

• Overtime, in most cases, is thought of as an
  unavoidable cost. However, a time tracking app
  can easily solve this problem by automatically
  replacing an employee who would have otherwise
  incurred overtime with an employee who is yet to
  reach his or her weekly hour limit, reducing
  costs and saving the manager a huge headache in
  the process.
• 3. Little or no employee input
• When managers dont allow employees to have
  enough say or the freedom to choose shifts, the
  personal issues of the employees, such as child
  care needs, personal appointments, and so on, may
  often coincide with their allocated shifts and
  this will contribute to the scheduling woes of
  the manager every single day.

• Collaborative scheduling, on the other hand,
  solves this by enabling employees to choose
  shifts and this in turn reduces absenteeism while
  maximizing productivity.
• 4. Lack of a contingency plan
• Time and again, employees will change their
  availability or simply forget to show up for
  work. Lack of an emergency plan, such as having a
  part time labor force available to cover last
  minute changes can also contribute to expensive
  scheduling mistakes. This is yet another
  scheduling mistake that can be solved with a time
  tracking app which can be programmed to
  automatically suggest a relevant replacement
  should the need arise.
