Common questions
FAQs
01How do I get started?
Start the free trial from this page, or book a walkthrough with our team. We help you add your people, locations and scheduling rules, and confirm which of your tools connect before you start.
02How do the 2 months free work?
60-day trial starts at subscription checkout. Card required. Then $2.75 per active employee per month. Cancel before the trial ends to avoid a charge.
03How does pricing work?
You pay $2.75 per active employee per month, billed monthly. If an employee is deactivated, they're not counted. Your bill adjusts automatically as your team size changes.
04What counts as an 'active employee'?
Any employee with 'active' status in your location. Deactivated employees (former staff, seasonal workers on break) don't count toward billing.
05Do employees need smartphones?
No. Employees can access everything through the online employee portal on any device with a web browser: desktop, laptop or tablet. There's also an optional mobile app for employees who prefer it.
06How does the AI scheduling work?
Tell Hours AI your rules in plain English. The scheduling engine weighs availability, coverage requirements, roles, preferences, fairness, and your configured rules to create a manager-reviewed draft. You can inspect, edit, and approve it before publishing.
07What if I haven't used AI before?
You can start with the assistant off and turn on features one at a time. By default, nothing the assistant proposes is applied until a manager approves it.
08Is setup difficult?
Setup follows the way your operation already works: add your team and locations, define roles and coverage, then capture the rules managers usually keep in their heads. We offer one-on-one onboarding support when you want help mapping the workflow.
09Can I import my existing staff?
You can add employees during onboarding and invite them by email. They receive an invitation to join the right location and can use the employee portal or mobile app.
10Is my data secure?
Your data is encrypted, sign-in is authenticated and access is limited by role. We do not sell your data. Schedule changes and assistant actions are kept in an audit history you can review.
11Can I cancel anytime?
Yes, no contracts or commitments. Cancel from your billing settings and your subscription ends at the next billing date. You'll keep access until then.
