Camelo

Build and publish a schedule for a shift-based team. Before publishing, use employee availability to spot preferences and then review the final assignments: availability is a preference and the scheduler can still place a shift during an unavailable period.

Publish an open shift for a coverage gap and allow eligible employees to choose it. For an assigned shift, employees may propose a swap or offer; manager approval remains the handoff point for responsibility.

Handle time-off requests in the same scheduling workflow. Treat a request and a preference as different signals when checking conflicts before a new schedule goes out.

The time clock captures when a worker actually starts and ends a shift using a mobile app or kiosk. These clock events populate timesheets; the scheduled start and end times alone are not the recorded work hours.

Camelo describes optional photo, location and Wi-Fi mobile clock methods. Choose a method only after reviewing your staff devices, site connectivity and local privacy expectations; these methods should not be assumed to suit every workplace.

Managers can see attendance signals such as on-time, late or no-show, then review individual timesheets. The review step matters when a worker forgets to clock out or the recorded hours need correction.

Approve or reject timesheets before payroll preparation. Camelo also exports selected timesheets as a CSV file sent by email, which can be processed outside the app.

Team announcements, messages and tasks sit beside scheduling. Use them for work updates and follow-up, while keeping the published schedule as the reference for who is expected to work.

Assign access deliberately: the guide describes Owner, Payroll Admin, Schedule Manager, Employee and Restricted Member roles with different visibility and actions. Check each role with fictional records before loading personnel details.
