We're seeing the market care more about responsible scheduling now. The delayed Obamacare rules means that many more workers are eligible for overtime. We've seen many workers happy about this, and we're seeing more businesses take ownership of scheduling.
If nothing else, Staffjoy maintains strict audit logs and could eventually help companies evaluate managers (average lead time per schedule, etc).
- lovich 10y agoI might be talking from a position of ignorance then as I haven't worked these jobs in about 5 years, but how are the Obamacare rules making companies care? My experience was that any benefit got tied to n hours of work per week, employees were scheduled to n-1 hours. This was held to so strictly across multiple companies that at one point I was told to work 2 hours overtime on a Thursday. The next Friday, the last day of the week for the business, I had the owner show up from their home in another state to take over from me exactly 2 hours before my shift was scheduled to end and I was sent home. If you're targeting mid tier and above businesses where someone can live off the salary of that one job, I could see them using this for a great benefit for both employee and the employer.Unfortunately I can't see any way that an employer paying minimum wage wouldn't use this to control their employees even more strictly than before
