Plan staff coverage alongside care hours
Scheduling connects staff availability and published shifts with expected care needs. Review gaps, breaks, and room capacity before relying on the schedule for the day.
Keep changes visible
Approve or decline time off and manage affected shifts. When a team member leaves, deactivate access while retaining the appropriate school records.
Time tracking today; payroll separately
Staff can clock in and out, and managers can export timesheets. Payroll integration is planned through a specialist provider; Ashby does not run payroll, file taxes, or make direct deposits.
How it works
- Add your team and assign roles, locations, and rooms.
- Review availability, plan shifts, and publish the schedule.
- Handle time-off requests, check coverage, and review clock records.
Common questions
Can staff schedules repeat?
Yes. Scheduling supports recurring shifts as well as one-time shifts, with edits and cancellations for the relevant schedule or occurrence.
Does approving leave change care coverage?
Approved leave affects scheduled availability. Review open shifts and the coverage view so the program can arrange replacement care.
