Getting Started

Busy Bunny Employee is a mobile schedule and time keeping solution that allows you to more easily manage your schedules, set availability, clock in and out for shifts, communicate to managers, and more; all from the palm of your hand.  

The employee app is connected to our entire solution, which means that managers using Busy Bunny Manager can send you schedules and communicate needs directly through the app. 

With Busy Bunny Employee, you also have the ability to manage not just one schedule, but multiple schedules at a time.  

For example: 

• Lily has 3 jobs.  She works part-time as a cashier at Gadgets Galore, and as a part-time babysitter and tutor
• Gadget's Galore uses Busy Bunny Manager to send Lily her work schedules through the Busy Bunny Employee app
• However, Lily still has two additional schedules to keep up with
• Lily adds two companies to her account (one to represent Babysitting and the other, Tutoring) so that she can easily add those schedules into the app
• Having access to all of her schedules in one place allows her to avoid overlapping schedules while ensuring that she's always in the right place, at the right time

Using Busy Bunny Employee, Lily now has 24/7 access to, and total oversight of, her work schedules, wage information, availability, task management, event reporting, and more, in the palm of her hand.  

This help document will provide a quick introduction to the main feature sets of the app, along with next steps for getting started.  

Want to get started right away?  

The first step is to download the Busy Bunny Employee app from the App Store (remember, it's FREE!).

Once you've downloaded the app, you will be guided through a quick set up wizard so you can start adding your schedules and calculating hours and pay, right away!

More ways to connect

There are multiple ways to get connected.. For example, you can join a store (the business you work at) if they are using Busy Bunny Manager, or simply start building your own schedule(s) (if you don't have a store to connect to yet).

Click here to access our Join a Store help document which takes you through connecting to a store, or here, for our Creating a Schedule help document which outlines the schedule creation process.  

Overview - The Basics

The following will provide you with a brief description of the main feature sets within the Busy Bunny Employee app.  While this will give you a general idea of what the app can do, we encourage you to check out all additional features within the app, along with supporting documents to see even more!  

Your Schedule

Through the Busy Bunny Employee app, you can easily view your schedules, work locations, scheduled position and hours of your shift(s), all in one place. 

Because you are connected through the Busy Bunny system, you will be immediately notified through the app of any updates to your shift, new shift requests, task assignments, etc. for any sites you are connected to.  

Requested, or created, shift assignments will appear on your employee dashboard as soon as they are sent by the Manager, or added by you.  Regardless of the number of schedules added, they will all be visible within your dashboard for quick and easy reference.  

  You will be unable to make changes to any schedules that are sent to you.  However, if enabled on the Manager's side, you will have the option to reject a schedule should you have a conflict. 

  Also, Manager's do not have the ability to see any schedules that you manually create or schedules for other companies you join.  

Clocking In and Out

The requirement to clock in and out for a shift is set by the manager of a site.  If you have joined a store and your manager has enabled this feature, you are able to clock in and out of the store directly through your phone. Simply show up to the location for your shift, and click on your schedule to start or end the shift.

You will also have the option to enable this feature for any stores that you manually create.  The benefit of enabling this feature is that it will allow you to track scheduled time against actual work time. 

For example, when comparing hours scheduled against hours worked for your tutoring jobs, you notice that you are consistently working about 30 minutes longer than the scheduled time, per student, which is creating overlaps between appointments and thus, delays for the customer. 

Having this information at your fingertips allows you to adjust future schedules accordingly to account for the extra time and to minimize potential overlaps and delays.  

  If your Manager has breaks enabled, you will have the ability to report break activity through your phone as well.

Task Management

When an assigned task is completed, you can report it to your Manager right away, along with additional details, including images.  Simply click on an assigned task to add additional information to it and/or to change the status. The ability to report task activity in real time allows you to communicate more effectively with management throughout the day.  

Keep in mind that a Manager can change the status of any task, including reported completions.  Should the status of a task be changed, it will be reflected within your phone right away.  The Busy Bunny notification settings allow you to be alerted any time a task is assigned to you.

Event Reporting

An event is an occurrence that impacts daily operations in some way, and they typically require some type of action to address.  

Within the Busy Bunny employee app, you will have the ability to report event details to Managers in real-time.  You can also upload images and/or add additional information to reported events.

Reports

Run reports that allow you to view schedules, hours worked, pay calculations and more.   The ability to view schedule reports directly on your phone ensures that you have immediate, accurate and the most up to date information regarding assigned schedules, hours worked and pay totals.
