Case Study: Metro State University of Denver streamlines labor management and payroll with SubItUp

Metro State University of Denver - Customer Case Study

Metro State University of Denver’s Campus Recreation at Auraria needed a better way to manage schedules for 75–80 student workers across a busy tri-institution campus. Their spreadsheet-based process made it difficult to track changing availability, substitutions, shift swaps, labor costs, and communication across front desk, fitness, lifeguard, and other roles. SubItUp was brought in to replace the manual scheduling process with a more modern system.

SubItUp implemented its scheduling platform with real-time updates, integrated time clock functionality, shift trading, and labor-hour controls to keep students from double-booking or exceeding weekly limits. The solution improved visibility for managers and made it easier for employees to access schedules from their phones, pick up open shifts, and stay informed about changes. Metro State University of Denver reported faster, more accurate scheduling and better control of labor costs in a restricted budget environment, while SubItUp also helped simplify payroll-related tracking and shift compliance.
