ScheduleAnywhere® Release 2.0: New and Improved Web-based Employee Scheduling Service Now Available
Managers and employees save time and increase efficiency with ScheduleAnywhere’s simple, effective online scheduling tools.

FARGO, ND - March 13, 2006 -- Atlas Business Solutions, Inc., a leading provider of small business software, today unveiled its new and improved version of ScheduleAnywhere®. This pay-as-you-go, online employee scheduling service allows managers to schedule their employees from any computer with Internet access, whether at work, at home, or on the road. It also lets employees view schedules online, as well as submit time-off requests.

One of the most difficult tasks managers face is employee scheduling. Making sure the right employee is scheduled at the right time and place can be complicated and time consuming. Add this to the many individual time-off requests a manager receives and the hassle of finding replacements for “no shows,” and employee scheduling can be downright problematic. To make these tasks as easy as possible, ScheduleAnywhere offers simple, yet effective, online tools for assigning and rotating work shifts, maintaining minimum staffing levels, handling time-off requests, and much more.

"ScheduleAnywhere 2.0 offers new functionality for both managers and their employees. Managers can save even more time and now employees have an easy and accessible way to check work schedules and request time off, " said Jon Forknell, Vice President and General Manager of Atlas Business Solutions. Some new and improved features of ScheduleAnywhere include:

• New Total Hours - Shows total hours scheduled by employee for 1 Day, 7 Day, 14 Day and 28 Day views.
• New Hourly Coverage - See how many employees are scheduled by 1 hour, 30 minute, 15 minute, 10 minute, or 5 minute increments.
• New Labor Hours - See total hours scheduled by hour for a particular day.
• New Schedule Sharing - Easily share schedules with other managers.
• New View Personal Schedule - Allows an employee to login and only see his or her individual work schedule (read-only).
• New Request Time Off - Employees can submit time-off requests and managers can see shift conflicts and accept or deny the request.
• New Search - Search for any schedule information, such as how many times a person has called in sick or tardy, vacation taken for any date range, or notes.
• Improved Filters - See who’s available by position, department, location, etc. and schedule replacements for “no shows.”
• Improved Printing & Export - Print or export schedule information for any date range.
