A filled-in example

Here's the same template for a small shop open 7 AM to 9 PM on weekdays, with shorter hours on Sunday. An opener and a closer overlap in the middle of each day, and the busiest days get an extra person.

A few things to notice in the example:

  • Every day has someone starting at opening and someone finishing at close.
  • Nobody closes and then opens the next morning.
  • Nobody goes over 40 hours for the week.

Using the template

  1. List your opening hours for each day across the top, above the day columns.
  2. Fill in the openers and closers first, then the busy periods, then the rest.
  3. Add a total-hours column on the right and check nobody is over their limit.
  4. Share it where everyone can see it, and keep last week's copy to start the next one.

If you're building a schedule for the first time, the step-by-step guide on how to make an employee schedule walks through each part.

A shared file works until the week changes after you post it. Someone gives away a Saturday, you fix the CSV, and half the team is still looking at the copy they printed or screenshotted on Monday. Once that happens every week, it's time to put the schedule somewhere your team checks on their phones.
