Higher Education Workforce Scheduling
Student workforce scheduling without spreadsheet chaos
Shiftelix helps universities schedule student employees around classes, hour limits, coverage gaps, shift swaps, and payroll review — with audit-ready compliance evidence.
Problem
Student staffing breaks down when classes, coverage, and compliance live in spreadsheets
Universities need to balance class schedules, changing availability, department autonomy, hour limits, time-off, and payroll review without losing the evidence behind each decision.
- Class conflicts and student availability changes create daily coverage risk
- Hour-limit policies and exceptions need consistent review
- Coverage requests, swaps, and payroll adjustments are hard to audit after the fact
Solution

Shiftelix keeps schedules, eligibility checks, approvals, attendance, and payroll review tied to the same student shift record.
- Class conflict detection before assignment or pickup
- Student hour-limit policies and approval evidence
- Department-level scheduling with central oversight and audit logs
