Press Release Summary: WhenToWork, Inc., makers of online employee scheduling

Press Release Body: TUSTIN, California - January 1, 2008 - WhenToWork, Inc., makers
of online employee scheduling software, today announced the release of
WhenToHelp.com, online scheduling software for charities and other volunteer-based
organizations. The company also announced it would provide free subscriptions of
WhenToHelp Lite to qualifying charities.

Four in five charities registered with the IRS-an estimated 174,000
organizations-use volunteers, according to a brief from the Corporation for National
and Community Service. And, as the brief notes, charity organizations face losing
those volunteers if they are not effectively managed.

"Turnover is a costly problem for any organization," says WhenToWork Director of
Operations Mary Adzich "but for a volunteer-based charity it can be catastrophic. We
created WhenToHelp to make scheduling and communication easier for organizers and
the volunteers they manage."

"Our formula is very simple: Help organizations keep volunteers happy. When
volunteers are happy, they're more likely to stay and to encourage others to join
them."
Adzich says the key to WhenToHelp is its cross-matching capabilities. The service
stores volunteer availability and preferences, which can then be matched to the
organization\'s needs. The program returns the optimal schedule in seconds and, once
published, volunteers receive their schedules by email and are able to log on to
submit updates, contact other volunteers or change their preferences.

Online volunteer management and scheduling saves organizers time and phone calling,
but it's only half the battle, according to Adzich. The other half, she says, is
timely communication.
"Last-minute changes are a reality with service organizations," says Adzich. "The
most successful volunteer-based groups are those flexible enough to quickly
reschedule or redirect volunteers without compromising the quality of services they
provide to the community."

WhenToHelp notifies volunteers of changes through email or text message, and
organizers can set preferences to automatically accept changes or to require
approval before updates are made. The program is accessible from any computer with
an Internet connection and has an easy-to-use, drag-and-drop interface.

WhenToHelp and WhenToHelp Lite are available through online subscription at
WhenToHelp.com. WhenToHelp subscriptions start at $15 per month, based on duration
and number of users. Discounts are available for multi-month, pay-ahead subscribers.
Paid subscriptions allow greater flexibility and customization, and remove all
restrictions on the number of shifts and volunteers that can be added.

A 30-day free trial is available at WhenToHelp.com. Qualifying charities - US
501(C)3 organizations and Canadian Registered Charities - can apply for extended
free use beyond the trial period.
