What is Employee Scheduler for Excel?
The Employee Scheduler is an affordable spreadsheet to help you schedule hourly employees and manage your labor costs as a percentage of sales. (Requires Microsoft Excel or OpenOffice to run).

This Excel spreadsheet was developed by the owner of a small quick service restaurant in the U.S.A. (ala Subway, Blimpie, Quizno's, etc).

Success in small business depends on controlling labor costs. This is key to survival. We needed a very simple, easy way of managing our labor costs on the weekly employee schedule. Most scheduling systems we reviewed were too complex or expensive for our needs. 

Who is the Employee Scheduler right for?
This employee scheduling spreadsheet is right for business owners and managers who have simple needs and who want an inexpensive tool to help them make schedules. Typically, it is right for business that:

* Schedule fewer than 25 employees on a weekly basis.
* Don't want to invest hundreds or thousands of dollars on a complex scheduling system.
* Need  to "ballpark" how scheduling scenarios impact the payroll as a percentage of sales.

My Manager is Salaried.
There is a row for scheduling a salaried manager's hours. The hours you schedule in the manager's row are not subtracted from the available hours.  If your manager is salaried, you already know what you're going to spend in wages. Just hide this row and put the manager's name in an hourly row if the manager is hourly.
