Shifts for driving instructors, theory teachers and examiners, availability and leave from the phone, swaps between instructors and a clock that records the hours actually worked.

A teaching day, not a rotation

A driving school works in blocks: a long morning for people who are not at work, an afternoon that starts when school lets out, and an evening for everybody else. The driving-school shift pattern is built that way, and the blocks overlap on purpose, because an instructor takes one of them, not all three.

Instructors' availability and leave

An instructor submits weekly availability and leave requests from their phone. Assigning an instructor who said they are unavailable or is on approved leave is flagged at once, before a student is left waiting on the pavement.

Swaps between instructors

An instructor who cannot make it asks another to swap, and the request closes with the professional manager's approval. Who asked, who approved and when is kept.

Hours you can rely on

A lesson is measured in hours, so the instructor clocks in and out from their phone and the punch is tied to the shift. Anything unusual is flagged for review, and every correction is kept with who made it and why.

Teaching licences

Record each instructor's teaching licence with its expiry date, and you are warned in advance before it lapses.

Ready on the first day

• Job titles ready to use: driving instructor, theory teacher, internal examiner, professional manager and scheduling clerk, each with a starting pay rate.
• Time clock, swaps and time off are on. Tips, on-call, handover and coverage are off, because a driving instructor works alone in a car.

Packages worth a look

Some of what this page describes is an add-on package. Each one can be added at any time from the billing screen, and removed just as easily.

• Time clock + geofence: Punch with location verification, deviation flags and manager approval.
• Smart auto-fill: Builds the schedule from availability, balances hours and respects rest rules.
• Availability by shift type: A morning/evening/night grid against the week, and the whole team's availability in one picture with a count per day.
• Document library: Menus, procedures, forms and rotas in one place the whole shift can reach from a phone.
• Advanced reports: Labor cost, actual vs planned, overtime and CSV export.
• Payroll export: Ready-to-import files for common payroll systems.
