Shift planning and absence management for teams
The cashwerk Work Manager combines shift planning, absence management, and capacity control in one module—fully integrated with time tracking, projects, and the team calendar.
For companies with shift work, field teams, or project staff, scheduling is a daily challenge. Who is available when? Are vacation requests in conflict? How loaded is next week? The Work Manager answers these questions in one place and avoids the planning mistakes common with spreadsheets or isolated scheduling tools.
You build rosters per user, project, and organization. In the timeline view, leads see planned assignments for everyone, duplicate shifts, and adjust as needed. Linking to projects ensures the right people are assigned. Planned shifts convert to time entries with one click—from plan to documented hours.
Absence management covers vacation, sickness, training, and other leave. Employees submit requests that managers approve or reject in a workflow. The system calculates remaining vacation automatically with holidays and working days—no fragile manual spreadsheets.
For workforce planning, capacity views show how many hours are scheduled next week, who is overloaded, and who has capacity. Together with dashboard KPIs for hours and absences, leadership keeps a clear view of team utilization.

Common questions
Difference to time tracking?
Time tracking records what actually happened: start, stop, pauses, categories, and GPS-backed entries when you enable them. The Work Manager focuses on who should work when, including shift rosters and approved absences. You compare both sides to see planned versus actual hours and fix scheduling issues early.
How does it work together?
Shifts connect to projects and the shared calendar, so coverage stays visible next to customer appointments. You convert planned shifts into time entries with one click when you need documented hours for billing or payroll. Dashboard KPIs and PDF or CSV exports support reviews without re-keying data.
Export possible?
Yes. You can export work reports as PDF or CSV and print shift plans when a wall schedule or archive copy helps the team. Exports also support hand-offs to accounting or workforce meetings. Combine exports with Drive storage if you need long-term filing alongside other documents.
