Businesses save time with online scheduling from ‘When I Work.com’


ST. PAUL, MN—July 20, 2010—thisCLICKS, LLC today launched When I Work.com—an online employee scheduling software that simplifies how managers create and manage the work schedule. Employees connect to their schedule using the web, mobile apps and text messaging. Employees know when they work with “When I Work”.


When I Work makes scheduling staff easy and fast—and puts each employee’s work schedule in their pocket via their mobile phone. Setup is simple—there’s no software to install. The schedule is created and employees are notified with one click. Schedules, however, can unexpectedly change—and when they do, a manager needs to fill a shift quickly. Employees get an alert by email and/or text message, and the first employee that accepts, fills that shift—saving time and increasing efficiency.


“There’s a new generation of savvy, connected management—and being able to get things done faster and from anywhere is expected.” said thisCLICKS CEO, Chad Halvorson. “A manager should be able notify their employees about a last minute shift without scrambling or wasting time to find a replacement. When I Work can do this in less than 30 seconds.” Chad says. “The workforce is connected too. An employee shouldn’t have to call or stop by on their day off to check the work schedule. That’s an inefficient use of time and an inconvenience for the employee.”


Implementation is easy. Employees get a text message or email from their employer inviting them to set up their When I Work profile and work preferences. Then employees can view their schedule, setup shift reminders, request time-off and pick up last minute shifts—all done online or via free iPhone and Android apps.


“I like getting a text reminder a couple hours before my shift starts,” said Dunn Bros Oakdale employee, Ian LaForge, “Plus, I can check the schedule online or from my phone anytime.”


Dunn Bros Oakdale owner, Carol Trombley, started scheduling with When I Work.com this summer. “It’s a great tool—it takes me less time to create a schedule and employees are setting their availability and making time-off requests online,” said Trombley. She added, “It makes it easy for to me keep track who’s available for a shift and who's not."
