Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about My Schedule App

General

What is My Schedule App?

My Schedule App helps businesses organize their work shifts, track working hours, and manage their teams in an easy and efficient way, both through the web and through a mobile application.

Who can use My Schedule App?

My Schedule App is perfect for any business that needs to manage employee schedules - including retail stores, restaurants, healthcare facilities, hotels, and service businesses. We support teams from 1 to 100+ employees.

Do I need to install any software?

No installation required! My Schedule App is a cloud-based solution that works in any web browser. We also offer native iOS, Android, and tvOS (Apple TV) apps for employees to access schedules, clock in/out, and more.

Can I manage multiple locations or departments?

Yes. You can set up multiple locations and departments. Schedules, time tracking, and reports can be managed per location or department. Ideal for chains, multi-site retail, or businesses with distinct teams.

Can employees sync their schedule to a calendar (iCal)?

Yes. We provide iCal feeds so employees can subscribe in Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or any calendar app that supports iCal. Schedules stay in sync automatically.

Billing

How does pricing work?

You choose a plan (Starter or Pro) and select how many employees you have. You pay a fixed monthly fee for your selected tier (10, 20, 50, or 100 seats). This makes budgeting simple and predictable. There are no hidden fees or setup charges.

Is there a free trial?

No, we don't offer free trials at this time. However, you can subscribe to our Starter plan which is very affordable and cancel anytime if it doesn't meet your needs.

What's the difference between Starter and Pro?

Pro adds AutoScheduling (the engine builds and optimizes schedules from availability, skills, and rules, and can re-plan when leave is approved) and Fleet tracking (real-time location, tvOS app on Apple TV for wallboard, iPad/Web). Starter uses manual scheduling and does not include fleet tracking. Both include time tracking, PTO/availability, shift swaps, mobile apps (iOS, Android, tvOS), and reporting.

What if I have more than 100 employees?

We offer an Enterprise plan with custom seat limits (e.g. 150, 200, 500, 1000+), volume discounts, priority support, and custom pricing. Contact our sales team for a quote.

Can I pay yearly?

Yes. Annual billing is available and saves you money (e.g. Save 20% vs monthly). You can choose monthly or yearly when subscribing.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) through our secure payment processors (Stripe and Paddle). Enterprise customers can also arrange invoice-based billing.

How do I cancel or change my plan?

You can cancel your subscription anytime from your account settings or by contacting support. You keep access until the end of the current billing period. To upgrade or change your seat count, do it from the dashboard or contact us; changes are prorated.

Features

Can employees view schedules on their phones?

Yes! We have native iOS (iPhone and iPad), Android, and tvOS (Apple TV) apps available now. Mobile apps let employees view schedules, clock in/out, request time off, and get push notifications. The tvOS app on Apple TV works as a fleet wallboard for real-time visibility (Pro plan).

Does My Schedule App track GPS location?

Yes, our time tracking feature includes optional GPS verification to ensure employees are clocking in from approved locations. This feature can be enabled or disabled based on your preferences.

Can I export data to payroll systems?

Absolutely! You can export timesheet data to Excel, PDF, or CSV formats. Exports are compatible with common payroll systems (e.g. ADP, Gusto). Use the reports and export options in your dashboard to get payroll-ready data.

What is AutoScheduling?

AutoScheduling (Pro plan) is our automated scheduling engine. It builds schedules based on employee availability, skills, position requirements, and your rules (e.g. max hours, rest periods). It can suggest shifts or fill the whole week, and it re-plans when PTO or sick leave is approved so coverage stays correct.

Do you offer fleet or location tracking?

Yes, on the Pro plan. Fleet tracking gives you real-time location visibility for your team, ideal for field service, delivery, or mobile workforce. You can view a live map, use the tvOS app on Apple TV as a wallboard in a command room, and use iPad or the web for full control. Sessions are tied to clock-in/out and respect privacy (e.g. off during breaks).

Can employees swap shifts or claim open shifts?

Yes. Employees can request to swap shifts with colleagues (subject to manager approval), and open shifts can be published so staff can claim them from the mobile app. This reduces last-minute coverage gaps and gives employees flexibility.

Is there in-app chat?

Yes. My Schedule App includes in-app chat with group conversations, reactions, voice messages, and file sharing. Teams can coordinate without leaving the app, and chats can be organized by department or topic.

Technical Support

Is my data secure?

Yes! We use industry-standard SSL encryption for all data transmission and store your data in secure, redundant data centers. We also perform regular security audits and backups.

What browsers are supported?

My Schedule App works on all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. We recommend using the latest version of your preferred browser for the best experience.

What if I need help?

We offer email support for all customers, with priority support for Pro and Enterprise plans. Help articles and documentation are available in your dashboard after you sign in (manage.myschedule.app).

Where do I get help or documentation?

After you sign in to your management dashboard (manage.myschedule.app), use the Help section for step-by-step guides, onboarding, billing, reports, scheduling, time tracking, fleet, and more. For questions not covered there, contact our support team.

Do you integrate with Slack, Microsoft Teams, or other tools?

We offer webhook and integration options so you can connect My Schedule App to Slack, Microsoft Teams, or other systems (e.g. for schedule publish alerts or notifications). Configuration is done from your dashboard under Integrations. Enterprise customers can discuss custom integrations with our team.
