Scheduling

Plan the farm workday from one schedule: create multiple shifts on the same date, assign workers with a current farm relationship, set locations and attendance windows, monitor clock activity, and export the resulting shift records.

  • Multiple same-day shifts
  • Eligible worker assignment
  • Live attendance status
  • Hours scheduled and worked
  • Past-shift protection
  • Excel and CSV exports

How it works in practice

Built around the workday.

01
Plan

Build the farm work schedule around real operations.

Farmroute scheduling is designed for agricultural work that can place several crews, locations, and jobs on the same date. A farm can create multiple independent shifts without one draft replacing another, then review the week as a connected operational schedule.

  • Create multiple shifts on one day
  • Set a local start time, end time, and farm location
  • Search the schedule without losing the week in view
02
Assign

Schedule only workers who belong to the farm.

The worker picker is scoped to current farm relationships. A terminated or unrelated employee is excluded, preventing a stale worker record or a second farm relationship from becoming an accidental assignment.

  • Current relationship eligibility
  • Several workers per shift
  • Assignment updates delivered to the employee profile
03
Monitor

See scheduled labor become active work.

The farm schedule combines planned hours with live clock state. Attendance rings and the actively clocked-in section make it easier to find people who are working now, late, missed, or still clocked in after their scheduled end.

  • Hours scheduled beside total hours worked
  • Active workers surfaced before inactive assignments
  • Shift-level Excel and CSV records

Roles and responsibility

Who does what.

Farm profile

Plan and monitor the farm schedule.

The farm creates shifts, chooses eligible workers, sets the location and on-time window, reviews attendance, and exports one shift or a selected date range.

  • Completed shifts become read-only
  • Multiple same-day shifts coexist
  • Still-working employees move to the front
Employee profile

Receive a clear personal schedule.

The employee sees only the shifts assigned through their farm relationships, with current, upcoming, and historical work displayed in the appropriate local time.

  • Shift changes synchronize to the worker
  • Current work stays visible until clock-out
  • Schedule notifications follow user preferences

Complete workflow

From start to finish.

  1. 01
    Farm

    Create a shift

    Choose a future date, local start and end time, shift name, optional farm location, and the attendance window used to classify clock-ins.

  2. 02
    Farm

    Assign eligible workers

    The picker excludes people without a current relationship to that farm.

  3. 03
    Farm

    Publish the assignment

    Saving the shift updates the farm schedule and delivers the assignment to each affected employee profile.

  4. 04
    Employee

    Receive the schedule

    The employee sees the shift time, location, and clock-in information and can receive configured in-app or push notification delivery.

  5. 05
    Both

    Track the live shift

    Farm attendance rings and employee clock controls reflect work sessions without requiring a manual page refresh.

  6. 06
    Farm

    Review the completed shift

    After the date passes, the schedule protects the assignment from editing while retaining every worker and clock session.

  7. 07
    Farm

    Export schedule records

    Export an individual shift or multiple shifts to Excel .xls or CSV .csv with worker IDs, exact clock times, elapsed time, date, location, on-time window, and attendance considerations.

Questions and answers

Frequently asked questions.

Can a farm create multiple employee shifts on the same day?

Yes. Farmroute stores each shift independently, so several jobs, locations, or overlapping shifts can coexist on the same date without one shift replacing another.

Who can be assigned to a farm shift?

The assignment picker includes workers with a current relationship to that farm. Terminated workers and employees connected only to another farm are not eligible.

Can a completed farm shift be edited?

No. Once a shift is in the past, its worker assignments and schedule details are protected so the historical attendance record is not casually rewritten.

Does Farmroute show who is actively working?

Yes. The farm schedule includes actively clocked-in workers, places urgent still-working states first, and uses attendance rings to summarize each worker’s status.

Can farm schedules be exported?

Yes. Farms can export one shift or multiple shifts in Excel .xls or CSV .csv format with worker, schedule, clock, elapsed-time, location, and attendance details.
