It shows:
Total scheduled shifts and hours
Labor broken down by team, individual, and overall total
Both draft and published shifts, so you see the full picture—not just what’s live
Labor Summary is designed to help managers and owners forecast labor, spot gaps, and make informed scheduling decisions.
When to Use Labor Summary
Use Labor Summary when you want to:
Understand how many hours are scheduled for a given week or date range
See labor distribution by team or staff member
Review upcoming labor before publishing schedules
Identify unassigned shifts that still need coverage
Labor Summary is a planning and visibility tool, not a payroll report.
How Labor Summary Works
Labor Summary pulls data directly from your Shift Schedule.
It includes:
All scheduled shifts within the selected date range
Draft shifts (not yet visible to staff)
Published shifts (visible to staff)
This ensures you can review labor before making schedules public.
Viewing Labor Summary
Go to Shift Schedule
Open Team Schedule
Select Labor Summary
Choose a date range
The summary updates automatically based on your selection.
What You’ll See in Labor Summary
Overall Totals
At the top of the summary, you’ll see:
Total number of scheduled shifts
Total scheduled hours
This reflects all draft and published shifts in the selected range.
Labor by Team
You can view labor grouped by team to see:
How many shifts are scheduled per team
Total hours assigned to each team
This is helpful for balancing front desk, management, or other operational teams.
Labor by Individual
You can also review labor by staff member to see:
Number of shifts assigned
Total scheduled hours per person
This view helps identify:
Over-scheduling or under-scheduling
Workload distribution across your team
Unassigned Shifts
Unassigned shifts appear separately in the summary.
This makes it easy to:
Spot coverage gaps
Ensure all shifts are filled before publishing
Draft vs. Published Shifts
Labor Summary includes both draft and published shifts.
This means:
Draft shifts count toward totals and hours
Published shifts count toward totals and hours
This behavior is intentional so you can:
Review labor before publishing
Make adjustments without notifying staff
What Labor Summary Does Not Include
Labor Summary does not:
Track clocked or worked hours
Replace payroll or timekeeping reports
Exclude draft shifts automatically
For worked-time tracking, use Time Clock.
Common Questions
Why do my totals look higher than expected?

Why do I see unassigned hours?
Unassigned shifts are included so you can identify coverage gaps before schedules go live.
Does Labor Summary update automatically?
Yes. Any change to shifts—draft or published—updates the Labor Summary immediately.
