Findmyshift review
Bottom line
Findmyshift is a browser-based scheduler that combines shift planning, a time clock, time off tracking, and payroll reporting for teams that have outgrown spreadsheets. Its clearest strength is the free tier for teams of up to 5 people, plus a free web time clock. The main limits are the per-team caps on staff and managers, short historical data retention on lower plans, and SMS messages that cost extra in text credits. It suits small and mid-sized teams that want quick scheduling and reliable hour tracking at a flat monthly price.
What is Findmyshift?
Findmyshift is a web-based employee scheduling tool for managing shifts, tracking worked hours, and handling time off. It was built for managers who need to put a schedule together quickly without learning a complicated system. The company says it launched in 2004 as the first web-based drag-and-drop employee scheduler, and the product covers the day-to-day problem of knowing who is working, when, and at what cost.
Managers build schedules in a drag-and-drop planner that supports point-and-click editing, drag-and-drop shift swaps, copy and paste, and keyboard shortcuts. Employees can request, cancel, and swap shifts, and managers approve those requests from the schedule. Automated shift reminders go out the day before a shift by email, text message, or push notification. A built-in time clock records when staff clock in and out, and those hours feed timesheets and payroll calculations that combine pay rates, overtime rates, and unpaid breaks.
The product is aimed at small and mid-sized teams across industries such as hospitality, retail, healthcare, security, and charities. Pricing is set per team rather than per employee. The Free plan covers up to 5 team members with one manager, and paid plans called Starter, Business, and Enterprise rise to 20, 100, and 300 team members. Annual billing is 10% lower than monthly billing, and there is a 3-month free trial with no credit card required.
What sets Findmyshift apart from spreadsheet-based or generic HR tools is the combination of scheduling, time clocking, and payroll reporting in one scheduler. Its Free time clock and Free plan for small teams give smaller operations a way to start without a subscription. Its Developer API is publicly available with OAuth 2.0 support, and it connects to tools such as Xero, Slack, Google Calendar, and BambooHR.
