The Problem for Management Firms
Each building runs its staff differently, and you only hear about it when something goes wrong.

When Someone Calls Out, the Shift Fills Itself
Stop running call-ins through group texts and phone trees. Broadcast the open shift to every eligible call-in by text and email. The first one to claim it gets the shift, everyone else is told it's taken, and the schedule shows it as covered.
- Broadcast open shifts to all eligible call-ins at once
- First to claim gets the shift, by text reply or one tap
- "Covered" status on the schedule so everyone knows who is coming in
- Unclaimed shifts get a reminder and escalate to the admin

Staff request time off from their phone, admins approve from the dashboard, and the leave calendar updates itself, so a thin week is easy to spot before it happens.
- Real-time balances per leave type
- One-tap approvals with notifications to staff
- Color-coded leave calendar by role
- Double-booking and staffing-limit conflicts flagged before approval

- Staff directory with roles, shifts and onboarding status
- Staff check balances and upcoming shifts from any phone

Hi, Staff C
Built Around How 32BJ Buildings Actually Run
Overtime, benefits thresholds and New York leave types are tracked, with a full audit trail behind them.
32BJ overtime tracking
Overtime offers and coverage counted per payroll week, so OT goes out fairly and is on record.
Benefits threshold tracking
See when a call-in's days or hours would start 32BJ fund contributions before you assign the shift.
NY leave types
Vacation, sick, personal, optional holidays, bereavement, jury duty, family and disability leave, tracked separately.
Audit trail
Every request, approval, override and coverage change is logged with who did it and when.

One Account per Building
One account per building
Each property gets its own account with its own staff, schedule, settings and admins.
No per-user fees
Add the whole staff, call-ins included. The price is set by the building, not the headcount.
Flat, predictable pricing
You know what each building costs every month, even as staff come and go.
One flat price per building. A 72-person staff pays $169/mo, not $180–$288 like per-user apps.
Built on the Job, for Building Teams
I started as a porter 24 years ago and worked and studied my way up. For the last 7 years I've been the assistant superintendent at a 378-unit Manhattan co-op — I built WorkNest because I live the scheduling and call-out problems every day.

Common Questions
Do my staff need to install anything?
No. The staff portal works in any phone browser. Staff join by scanning your building's QR code, and an admin approves them before they get access.
We manage several buildings. How does that work?
Each building has its own WorkNest account and its own flat price, with its own staff, schedule and admins.
Who can see what?
Admins manage their building. Staff only see their own schedule, balances and requests, plus a basic directory. Personal details stay admin-only.
Does WorkNest run payroll?
No. WorkNest handles time off, requests, coverage and the directory. Your payroll stays where it is today.
What languages does the staff app support?
English, Spanish, Polish, Albanian and Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial so you can run a real schedule before you commit.
