A key feature of this template is the ability to set a starting date, which then automatically adjusts both the dates and the names of the days in the schedule according to the selected month and year. This ensures that your schedule always matches the correct days of the week. You can also customize the starting hour for the first shift, and the template will adjust all the following hours for the rest of the week accordingly.
The week is clearly divided, making it easy to plan and view each day’s shifts. The template also includes a dedicated sheet called “Team Member and Status Settings”, where you can list all employees. These employees can then be selected from drop-down menus when entering the weekly schedule, making the process more efficient.
The “Progress Statuses” feature allows for more detailed tracking. By default, only shifts marked with a tick from the drop-down menu will be counted as working hours. Other statuses, such as a cross, will not count toward total working hours, and the color formatting will change to reflect this.
Key features include:
- Automatic Date and Day Adjustments: Once you enter a starting date, the template updates all dates and automatically assigns the correct days of the week.
- Custom Start Hours: You can choose the start time for the week’s first shift, and the remaining hours will adjust automatically.
- Employee Selection: The “Team Member and Status Settings sheet” lets you list all employees, enabling easy selection through drop-down menus in the schedule.
- Custom Status Options: Add additional statuses to explain skipped hours. Only hours marked with a tick will count toward working hours.
- Weekly Division: The template organizes the week into clear sections, making it simple to track shifts and hours for each day.
This schedule template is available in Google Sheets and Excel. It is designed to simplify weekly shift planning and employee hour tracking and is highly customizable, so you can easily adjust the formulas and fields to suit your specific schedule or shift requirements.
