What Real Employee Flexibility Looks Like in WFM

Flexibility today goes beyond just being able to see your schedule or swap a shift since employees need a system that gives them visibility, control, and peace of mind that everything they do is still within the bounds of compliance.

In this video, Mat Diab, founder of WorkAxle, explores what that really looks like in action.

“You remove a lot of the manual process... so that shifts are captured appropriately, people are paid appropriately, and that is how you bring your shift together.”

With WorkAxle, employees can:

• View all relevant shift data including cost centers, notes, and segmentation
• Easily initiate shift trades or find someone to cover without breaching labor laws or internal rules
• Modify their availability or preferences, even within union-specific frameworks
• Trust that the system is only allowing compliant changes with skills, overtime limits, and rules being enforced automatically
• Know that any request still goes through manager approval, keeping oversight in place
  
  

The result is a clean, automated pipeline from schedule to shift to payout without unnecessary back-and-forth or manual corrections.
