FAQ
Caregiving scheduling, answered.
How do I build a caregiver schedule that holds up?
Caregiving schedules are complicated because you have to account for the shifts that need covering and the skills of the caregivers covering them. Rather than filling shifts first to last, schedule an anchor caregiver into each shift first, usually one of your most experienced, then fill in around them. Set eligibility requirements on each shift so you do not accidentally schedule someone without the right skills, qualifications, or experience.
Can I let caregivers choose their own shifts?
Yes. Shift Amp gives you the option to let staff self-schedule or bid on the shifts they want. That freedom tends to improve engagement and cuts the time and energy your managers put into scheduling. If you try self-scheduling or shift bidding, add an anchor caregiver to each shift before opening things up, so every shift keeps a core of experience.
Can a time clock app confirm my caregivers are on site?
Yes, through location checks. Set the area around each job site, and any caregiver clock-in from outside it is flagged for you to review before you approve the week. It shows you where each clock-in came from, so time cards match the schedule.
How do I keep caregiver licenses and certifications current?
Attach licenses, certifications, contracts, and records to each caregiver profile so you can see who is certified for what. Alerts arrive before anything expires.
Can caregiving scheduling software help me control labor costs?
Yes. Shift Amp notifies you when a shift approaches a spending threshold. Set a labor budget that works for your operation and watch the real-time cost update as you build the schedule.
Why choose Shift Amp for caregiving scheduling?

Scheduling stays free for your whole team, and Pro adds the time clock, timesheets and reports for $2 per billable member a month.
