FlexLedger

FlexLedger is a web app with a lightweight mobile companion that turns “flexible scheduling” into a trackable agreement instead of a vague perk. Employees submit preferred working windows and constraints (school pickup, caregiving, commute limits), while managers publish coverage requirements and meeting blocks. The app automatically flags conflicts, tracks exceptions, and produces a weekly “flex fairness” report showing who is consistently bending and who is consistently protected. It integrates with Google Calendar and Microsoft 365 to detect after-hours meeting creep and generates suggested alternatives (async updates, rotating meeting times, or split coverage). It’s not a feel-good wellness tool: it’s a compliance-and-operations layer that creates an audit trail for flexibility promises, reducing resentment and attrition. Expect pushback from managers who prefer informal control; the product succeeds only if it saves time and reduces scheduling drama measurably within weeks.
