The document summarizes McKesson's Web Scheduler application, which allows employees and managers to view schedules and manage time-off requests online in real-time. Some key benefits are increasing shift coverage by improving access to open shifts, supporting overtime reduction by offering shifts to part-time staff first, and improving satisfaction with convenient at-home scheduling. The application integrates with ANSOS One-Staff to maintain the master schedule while conveying changes. It also promotes equitable scheduling through tiered employee access to shifts and time-staged shift publication.
