Overview
Humanity Schedule is cloud-based employee scheduling software from TCP Software for organisations whose frontline staff work in shifts, at one location or many. Managers build and publish schedules, while employees swap shifts, set availability and clock in from the mobile app. It is priced per employee per month in US dollars, on self-serve Essentials and Professional plans billed monthly or annually, and on an Enterprise plan quoted by sales.
Our take
Pick Humanity Schedule if your rota has to follow US labour rules such as Fair Workweek notice, minor restrictions or state overtime thresholds, because the Professional plan checks them while you build. A small team that only needs a shared rota with clocking in can stay on Essentials and skip that step. It is the wrong fit if you want payroll run inside the scheduling tool, since hours leave it as an export to the payroll system you already have.

Features
- Shift planning and templates
- Drag-and-drop schedules in daily, weekly, bi-weekly and monthly views, filtered by department, location, date and position, with schedule templates, one-click publishing and unlimited schedules and locations on every plan. Professional adds auto-fill of empty shifts by availability, skills and labour rules, re-assignment of vacant shifts by seniority or weekly hours, and Demand Scheduler, which builds a schedule from a forecast; shift tasks are an add-on on Professional and included on Enterprise.
- Shift swaps and open shifts
- Employees swap, pick up, release and drop shifts with automatic or manual manager approval, request coverage from colleagues and pick up full or partial open shifts in the app or by text. A released shift or a last-minute callout can start AI-assisted backfill, which ranks replacements by availability, pay, location and workload and sends SMS offers in phases until someone accepts.
- Availability and time off
- Employees set ad-hoc or recurring availability and request time off from the mobile app; managers see upcoming time off, leave balances and pending approvals, with custom leave types on every plan
- Time clock and attendance
- Clock-in and clock-out for shifts and breaks on the mobile app, timesheets for every employee, and geofencing with GPS location tracking on every plan; the app also offers webcam capture and passwords for clock-in security, and a dashboard shows who is clocked in, late or on leave
- Labour cost and forecasting
- On Professional, a budget view compares the daily and weekly hours and cost of scheduled shifts with a budget, Demand Scheduler forecasts demand from uploaded historical data, a staffing checker compares coverage with demand by hour and position, and an HPPD scheduler compares scheduled nursing hours with targets. Labor Optimizer, an add-on on Professional and included on Enterprise, combines clocked hours with upcoming shifts to project weekly hours and cost and flag potential overtime, with optional daily email or SMS alerts.
- Breaks, overtime and labour rules
- On Professional, a rules engine with built-in or custom policies, paid and unpaid meal and rest breaks, minor rules synced with school calendars, Fair Workweek guardrails for advance notice and right-to-rest, overtime thresholds based on FLSA, state or industry rules, skills and certifications, a conflict checker before and after assignment, and event logs of every schedule edit and request
