Most “employee schedule makers” you’ll find are scheduling apps that want you to create an account, start a trial, and eventually pay per employee. This one doesn’t. It’s a free employee schedule maker that runs right here in your browser — no sign-up, no download, no credit card. Add your staff, click a day to drop in a shift, and everyone’s hours add up automatically. When it’s done, print it for the wall or export it to Google Sheets, Excel, or PDF.
A free employee schedule maker, not another app
If you manage a small team, you don’t need scheduling software with a monthly bill — you need a fast way to lay out next week and hand it to your staff. That’s exactly what this does:
- No sign-up and nothing to install — open the page and start scheduling. Your work stays private in your own browser.
- Hours add up for you — each employee’s weekly total, each day’s coverage, and the overall total update as you build, so you can balance the load and check it against payroll before you post it.
- Color-coded by person or role so one glance shows who’s on and in what position, on screen and in print.
- Unpaid breaks are deducted from each shift, so the hours you see are the hours you pay.
- Overnight shifts work — a shift that runs past midnight, like 10 PM to 6 AM, is calculated correctly.
- Build the whole week at once — apply the same shift to several days in one step, which makes recurring and rotating schedules quick.
How to make an employee schedule
- Add your staff. Enter each employee’s name, an optional role (server, cashier, nurse), and pick a color.
- Drop in shifts. Click a day next to an employee, set the start and end times and any unpaid break. Select several days to apply the same shift across the week.
- Watch the hours total. Each person’s weekly hours, daily coverage, and the overall total update as you go.
- Adjust freely. Click any shift to change or remove it — overnight shifts and breaks are handled for you.
- Post it. Download a printable PDF, export to Google Sheets or Excel, save an image to text to your team, or print a copy for the break room.
