Skills: creating and assigning

Why use skills

Skills qualify your employees according to their training or experience (for example Bartender, Kitchen, Checkout, Cleaning). When creating a shift, you indicate the skill or skills involved, which helps plan the right people for the right position and structure how the schedule reads. In some sectors, it is also a reference point for meeting qualification requirements.

Creating a skill

Go to Settings ⚙️ → Skills, then click New at the top right. The "Add a skill" panel opens with the following fields:

• Name: the skill's label (for example Kitchen, Lobby/WC, Sales).
• Employee cost (€/h): the hourly employee cost associated with this skill. It lets you refine the cost calculation of a shift based on the position actually held, rather than a single cost per employee.
• Employer cost (€/h): the corresponding hourly employer cost.
• Color: the color that identifies the skill in the schedule.

Click Save. The skill appears in the list and becomes assignable.

Assigning skills to an employee

You can assign a skill from an employee's profile (Team → Users → the employee → Profile → Settings, Skills field), or from the skills list using the assignment action to handle several people at once.

Using skills in the schedule

When creating a shift, the Skills field lets you attach one or more skills to the slot. This clarifies the position held and, combined with the per-skill costs, refines the calculation of your schedule's real cost.
