Employee Scheduler is an inexpensive spreadsheet tool that simplifies scheduling hourly employees and monitoring labor costs as a percentage of sales. It runs solely on Microsoft Excel or OpenOffice.

The Employee Scheduler software enables business owners and managers to "ballpark" how scheduling scenarios will impact the payroll as a percentage of sales. This feature is especially useful for businesses that want to optimize labor costs and stay within budget. Before investing in an expensive scheduling software package, it is worth giving the Employee Scheduler a try. Despite its small price, it may be able to deliver all the functionality you need to effectively manage employee schedules and labor costs.
