What is Ayora Net Workforce?

Ayora Net Workforce is a web-based workforce management module designed for small and mid-sized businesses that need to schedule employees, track hours, manage leave, and run manager approvals without spreadsheets, paper forms, or disconnected apps. It is part of the Ayora Net Operations Suite, so your employees, company data, and role assignments are shared across every module from day one.

Employee Scheduling

Build, publish, and manage work schedules. Assign shifts, track coverage, and handle changes without manual coordination.

Time & Attendance

Track clock-in and clock-out times, monitor attendance patterns, and review timesheets at a glance.

PTO & Leave Management

Employees submit leave requests online. Managers review and approve or deny them in one place.

Approval Workflows

Route shift changes, leave requests, and schedule adjustments through structured manager approval flows.

What workforce problems does it solve?

Most small businesses manage scheduling and time off in a mix of text messages, paper requests, and shared spreadsheets. That leads to missed shifts, approval delays, duplicate entries, and no clear record of who approved what. Ayora Net Workforce replaces that patchwork with a single system your whole team uses every day.

  • No more shift scheduling in spreadsheets
  • No more leave requests sent by text or paper
  • No more manual approval tracking
  • No more separate timekeeping apps
  • No more unclear coverage when shifts are swapped

What your team gets instead

A consistent, structured system where employees request time off, claim open shifts, submit swap requests, and view their own schedules �� and managers review, approve, and track everything from one dashboard.

  • One place for all scheduling and leave activity
  • A full audit trail of every approval and change
  • Real-time visibility into who is working and when
  • Automatic labor forecasting based on scheduled hours
  • Role-based access so each user sees only what they need

Core workforce management features

Ayora Net Workforce is built around the daily tasks that every workforce-dependent business needs to run �� scheduling, time tracking, leave management, and manager approvals.

Scheduling

Employee shift scheduling

Build weekly or daily schedules, assign employees to shifts, publish schedules to your team, and track coverage gaps before the week starts.

  • Create and publish shift schedules
  • Assign employees to specific shifts
  • View schedule coverage by day and role
  • Edit and update schedules in real time
Leave Requests

PTO and leave request management

Employees submit paid time off, sick leave, and personal leave requests directly in Ayora Net. Managers see all pending requests in a single queue and take action immediately.

  • PTO, sick leave, and personal leave types
  • Employee self-service request submission
  • Manager notification on new requests
  • Approval and denial with recorded notes
  • Leave history per employee
Approval Workflows

Structured manager approval flows

Every leave request, shift swap, and schedule change that requires manager sign-off goes through a defined approval workflow. Nothing falls through the cracks.

  • Approval queue visible to assigned managers
  • One-click approve or deny with optional notes
  • Full approval history and audit trail
  • Email and in-app notifications for pending items
Shift Swaps

Employee-initiated shift swap requests

Employees can request to swap their assigned shift with another employee. Both employees confirm, then the swap goes to a manager for final approval before the schedule is updated.

  • Employee-to-employee swap requests
  • Mutual confirmation before manager review
  • Manager approval required before schedule update
  • Swap history logged per shift
Open Shifts

Open shift claiming for available employees

When a shift has no assigned employee, managers can post it as an open shift. Eligible employees can claim it directly in Ayora Net. Managers approve the claim to finalize the assignment.

  • Post unassigned shifts as open to the team
  • Employees claim shifts based on availability
  • Manager approval finalizes the assignment
  • Reduces the need for manual outreach to fill gaps
Auto Scheduling

Automatic schedule generation

Auto Scheduling builds a draft schedule based on your employee availability, shift requirements, and role assignments. Managers review and publish with minimal manual work.

  • Draft schedules generated from availability data
  • Respects role and position requirements per shift
  • Manager review before publishing to employees
  • Reduces weekly scheduling time significantly

Advanced workforce tools

Beyond the daily scheduling workflow, Ayora Net Workforce includes forecasting, notification, and management tools that give your leadership team real operational visibility.

Labor Forecasting

See projected labor hours and headcount needs based on scheduled shifts. Identify over- or under-staffed periods before the week starts so you can adjust coverage proactively.

Notifications

Employees and managers receive notifications for schedule publications, leave approvals or denials, open shift postings, and pending swap requests �� so nothing waits in an inbox.

User Roles

Ayora Net Workforce uses role-based access inherited from your company account. Employees see their own schedules and requests. Managers see their team's data. Admins have full access.

Dashboards

Manager and employee dashboards give each user an at-a-glance view of today's schedule, pending approvals, open requests, and recent workforce activity �� all on a single screen.
