Employee Scheduling Partner is a basic scheduling program that offers a decent number of reporting options, but few advanced scheduling tools. We found ESP made it easy to enter schedules—by utilizing a step-by-step setup wizard—but once you've entered the schedules, the scheduling view displayed on your computer screen is extremely difficult to read.

Some of the reports available with ESP include vacation time, employee availability, daily and weekly schedules and more. However, Employee Scheduling Partner does not allow you to view an entire schedule in calendar format by week, month or year.
