Summer Employee Scheduling with Parks & Recreation Software

Parks and Recreation Scheduling Software

Being active is not only fun, it is an important part of a healthy lifestyle that many seek out for the summer. As the summer season continues in full force, many Parks and Recreation Scheduling Departments have had to shift work schedules, accommodate numerous time off requests, fill last-minute scheduling voids, toggle full-time employee changes and hire many new part-time employees, all while struggling to find a way to effectively manage all of these required employee scheduling tasks.

While many of us are stuck working indoors, floating day-to-day with a normal work schedule and requiring nothing more than a simple day off here and there, there are many summer jobs out there demanding much more! As full-time and part-time employees everywhere continue to seek flexible schedules, even with unique summer positions, difficulties of scheduling coordinators everywhere continue to increase as well. While the list of summer jobs requiring effective recreation software and creative scheduling ways are endless, ScheduleBase has hand-picked a short list of five jobs that sound like a fun way to earn a paycheck for the summer and also require strategic scheduling on the part of a Parks and Recreation scheduling coordinator or department manager.

Driving Range Picker
Like spending your time on the golf course? Do you love a work schedule with early morning hours? You can do it this summer with this job. Retrieving golf balls can be an excellent way to earn summer time cash. Most all golf courses have a pond which numerous balls sink to the bottom, sometimes even really expensive balls.

A summer job list wouldn’t be complete without the Lifeguard! With this job, you’ll save lives, prevent accidents and ensure families are having a good time safely at your local pool.
