Created by James Perry, Modified on Mon, 24 Mar at 2:18 PM by James Perry

You can also view the HotSchedules guide here.


Staff List -> Click New Employee in top right corner.


Fill in at least the required info.  Having an email address and phone number is helpful too, for the following reasons:

  • Email can be used to send their HotSchedules access, instead of printing a sheet.
  • Email notifications can be setup in additional to push notifications.
  • Phone is helpful for shift swapping in addition to having your schedule sent to you via text message.


Click Save which will take you to the next screen.




The next page is for certifications, to which you can press Next on.


On the Availability Page, drag/drop the employee's availability.  OR you can simply have them submit it later for your approval.



Then on the last page, add the employee's jobs that they should appear under, along with the pay rates.





To terminate an employee:

Click into their employee record under Staff

On the main details page, there is a settings box to the right.

Click into Account Status




Then select Terminated, enter the reason and the effective date.

This is required in order to remove the employee from the staff list and block their access to HotSchedules.


You will receive 1 final warning before clicking Terminate.
