Set up employee profiles for Shiftplan

Modified on Wed, 18 May 2022 at 10:33 AM

Shiftplan is flexible for your business. You are able to customize your shifts as per the roles, working areas, and special employee qualifications or needs. The roles, locations, and tags will later be used to generate recommended employees while creating shifts. Since you might have some employees who work in shifts and some do not,you can also activate and deactivate Shiftplan for each employee.


Once you have set up Shiftplan in Kenjo, it's time to configure your employees' profiles.
