How to Improve Employee Scheduling with Digital Forms
Simplify the collection of timesheets, time-off requests, and other employee scheduling requests with digital and online forms
Scheduling employee time off can be tricky when relying on paper forms and PDFs to collect requests. Between PTO requests, sick time, maternity and paternity leave, and holidays, it can be difficult to efficiently manage incoming requests and scheduling. The cumbersome, manual nature of paper forms adds further complexity to this process, as forms need to be turned in, reviewed, approved, and processed, resulting in excessive administrative demands, wasted time, and frequent human error.
Digital and online forms present administrators with a seamless means of collecting and processing employee scheduling requests. With GoFormz, your timesheets, time off request forms, sick requests, and more, can be easily digitized for use on phones, tablets, and computers. These digital forms can be easily generated by or shared with employees, for them to fill out and complete from any location. Once submitted, administrators can access submitted forms in real-time, accelerating scheduling modifications and simplifying time-off requests. Completed forms can even be instantly routed to connected applications and databases, simplifying record-keeping and processing.
To drastically improve your operation’s employee scheduling, optimize your digital forms with the following fields and features:
Easy form sharing - You can post links to your online forms to your website or share them directly with an employee, allowing them to access, fill out, and complete scheduling requests from any location (eliminating the need for manual hand-ins).
Table fields - Organize a variety of scheduling dates, shift times, and more, within Table field line items. Your Table fields can be equipped with Time fields, Date fields, and instant calculations to automatically total hours worked or requested.
Date & Time fields - Enter the exact date and time of scheduling requests with a few simple taps. Date and Time fields can even instantly populate when a user generates a form.
Automated form routing - When an employee completes a digital or online form, it can be instantly routed to teammates, supervisors, human resources, and more.
Electronic Signature fields - Easily collect employee and supervisor authorizations with electronic Signature fields. Configure your Signature fields to be Required, dynamically clear upon form edits and more.
