Your staffing mix is more complicated than most industries.

A school or university typically runs two distinct types of hourly staff on very different schedules: instructional staff (adjuncts, tutors, instructors, aides) whose hours track to class schedules, and classified staff (custodial, food service, security, administrative support) who work fixed shifts.

Most scheduling tools handle one well and struggle with the other. ZoomShift manages both in the same account, with position labels that keep them organized without requiring separate systems.

Time-off Tracking

Part-time and adjunct staff have complex, shifting availability.

Adjunct faculty and part-time instructors often work at multiple institutions simultaneously. Their availability changes every term based on what else they're teaching. When you schedule without current availability data, you get conflicts and last-minute requests to swap.

ZoomShift lets part-time education staff update their availability directly in the app, and administrators build the schedule against current information.

Frequently Asked Questions

At its core, scheduling software like ZoomShift keeps your staff on the same page with its feature-rich web and mobile app. The schedule is online and easily viewed 24/7 by both your team and managers. It also makes it easy to communicate when shift cover requests go out or the schedule gets published since ZoomShift has text, email, and push notifications. That means fewer no shows and less back-and-forth email and text chains to cover shifts.
The simplicity of ZoomShift is why people love it so much. Managers enter all employees into the app alongside pertinent info like their job title and wages. Once all your employees are entered into ZoomShift, you can begin shift planning by clicking Schedule in the navigation bar and slotting your employees for the shifts you need covered. Rinse and repeat as necessary and copy schedules daily, weekly, or even monthly to save time.
