Express Schedule for Windows
Plan employee shifts, record time off and share weekly rosters with Express Schedule for Windows. NCH offers a separate free version for non-commercial use.
What is Express Schedule?
Express Schedule is a staff roster planner for creating, editing and sharing work schedules. Enter shifts directly in the grid or use drag and drop, copy a previous week, and set up recurring schedules instead of starting each roster from scratch. It also records breaks and different kinds of leave alongside shifts.
Schedules can be printed or emailed to individual employees or the whole staff. NCH lists support for working offline and sending email through an existing client such as Outlook or Thunderbird. The publisher lists Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10 and 11.
The free version is limited to non-commercial use; it is not advertised as a free business license. The download linked here is the publisher’s standard Windows installer, not its separate non-commercial free installer. The publisher also provides a purchase option.
