Hello everyone,
I wanted to start a discussion around managing employee schedules when they are hosted on external portals like MyTime.Kroger and how people handle this from a planning or productivity standpoint.

The MyTime.Kroger portal is widely used by employees to view shifts, availability, time-off requests, and schedule changes. While it works well as a standalone system, I’ve noticed that many people still rely on personal calendars or team planning tools to organize their day-to-day routines. This creates a challenge when schedules are frequently updated and need to be checked manually.

I’m curious how others approach this. Do you manually copy shift times from MyTime.Kroger into a calendar or planner? Have you found a workflow that helps keep everything in sync without constantly logging in to check updates? For those managing multiple commitments—work, family, or side projects—having schedules visible in one place can make a big difference.

I’m especially interested in whether anyone has used calendar-based tools to track recurring shifts, upcoming changes, or availability windows that originate from portals like MyTime.Kroger. Even simple approaches, such as reminders or weekly planning reviews, could be helpful to share.

Looking forward to hearing how others handle schedule visibility and planning when using external employee portals.

Thanks in advance for your insights.
