ESS means Employee Scheduling System. This PHP and MySQL based web application allows for ad-hoc managing of employees and spaces on a per-event basis, rather than hourly.
Here are some key features of "ESS":
· Allows for ad-hoc scheduling of employees
· Event descriptions are editable using a WYSIWYG interface
· Employees can have multiple supervisors, and can work in multiple areas
· Extensive scheduling support for multiple areas and multiple positions per area
· Allows for a weekly basic schedule, and blackout dates for time off requests
· Allows for supervisors to override availabilities
· Acts as a single contact point for employees and supervisors for not only scheduling, but also contact data.
· Allow mass emailing to employees with updated schedules, etc
· ICS/iCal output for live, in calendar viewing of events
Requirements:
· PHP5 w/PEAR::DB
