Work Hours & Work Shifts: Fitting Into Your Schedule

Work Hours and Work Shifts make it simple to set the times you work and have drives outside those hours automatically classified as personal. Simply specify your Work Hours in the Account Settings tab, and MileIQ will do the work of classifying any drives outside of those hours as personal.  

We know your work schedule may vary. That’s why Work Shifts lets you set multiple working shifts for the same day or across multiple days. For example, if you drive for a ridesharing service during the morning and evening commutes, just set Work Shifts and your personal drives are taken care of. Work Shifts can even handle overnight schedules.

You don’t have to worry about your drives while working a “graveyard” shift.  Here’s how to set up Work Hours and Work Shifts from your app or the web dashboard.  

1. Upgrade Office Furniture – Providing your staff with ergonomic office furniture is a great way to ward off possible back problems and improve productivity.

2. Housecleaning – Arrange for a bulk discount at a local housecleaning agency, and give all employees coupons for a single session at their homes

3. Gift Cards – Everyone loves the luxury of getting to shop for free. Choose gift cards according to each workers’ preferences

4. Non-Work Lunch With the Boss – Take your team members out to lunch, either individually or in small groups. Keep the conversation away from work topics; instead, spend the time getting to know each person better.

5. Handwritten Notes – Yes, we mean just sit down with a pen and a stack of paper. Think about what each person has accomplished this year, and thank them for their specific efforts and achievements.

While appreciating your employees today remember that we all like to be thanked and even though this day is scheduled once a year, appreciating your employees several times throughout the year will leave the team feeling valued and you may well see an increase in productivity.
