SolutionsTime · Scheduling

Shifts that fill themselves. Rules that never slip.

We set up Rippling Scheduling with your shift patterns, coverage targets and labour rules, so managers build the week in minutes and hours match payroll.

What Rippling Scheduling handles

Build, publish and adjust schedules in the same system that tracks time and runs payroll.

Compliance

Labour rules checked before you publish

Rest periods, maximum hours, minor work limits and predictive scheduling rules flagged while the schedule is being built.

Templates

Repeatable shift patterns

Save weekly patterns by site and role, then copy them forward in one click.

Self-service

Swaps and open shifts

Workers trade shifts or claim open ones from the app, with manager approval.

Time

Schedules linked to clock-ins

Early, late and missed punches compared against the schedule automatically.

One way of scheduling across every site

We set up templates, roles and budgets per location so each manager schedules the same way and head office sees all of it.

Location and role templates
Labour budget targets
Cross-site cover
Manager permissions by site

Rotations that respect rest rules

Day, night and weekend rotations configured with minimum rest and maximum consecutive shifts built in.

Minimum rest between shifts
Shift differentials to payroll
Qualification-based assignment

Predictive scheduling, handled

Where cities require advance notice and change premiums, we configure the rules so premiums are calculated and records kept.

How we engage

Coverage first. Calendar second.

We map demand, roles and labour rules for each site before building templates, then run a live week with your managers.

Frequently asked questions

Can't find what you need? Talk to our team.

Can workers swap shifts themselves?
+

Yes. Workers can request swaps or claim open shifts in the Rippling app, and managers approve them before they take effect.

Does Scheduling work with Time & Attendance?
+

Yes. Clock-ins are compared against scheduled shifts, so early, late and missed punches are flagged before payroll.

Can it handle predictive scheduling laws?
+

We configure notice periods and change premiums for the locations where they apply, and keep schedule history for audits.

How long does a Scheduling setup take?
+

It depends on the number of sites and rules. We’ll give you a firm plan after a short discovery, usually with a one-site pilot first.
