Home Depot Workforce Tool: a practical guide for associates.
WFT is where you check your schedule, see your punches and timecard, and ask for time off. Here is what every Home Depot associate should know, and how to get more out of it.
What Workforce Tool is.
Workforce Tool (WFT) is Home Depot's scheduling and workforce system. Associates use it to see upcoming shifts, check punch history, review timecards and submit time-off requests.
Home Depot runs WFT, and you sign in with your LDAP ID and password. It is separate from your personal Google or email account.

How to view your schedule on WFT.
Your schedule is on the main WFT screen. How many weeks you can see depends on how far ahead your store has posted.
- 1
Sign in
Go to wft.homedepot.com and sign in with your LDAP ID and password. - 2
Find this week
Your schedule is on the home screen, showing the current week. - 3
Move between weeks
Go forward or back to see upcoming or past weeks. - 4
Open a shift
Tap or click a shift to see its start time, end time and location.
Schedules are usually posted 2 to 3 weeks ahead, but this varies by store. Check WFT at the start of each week so you always have the latest one.
How to check your timecard.
WFT shows your punch history and timecard for the current pay period: clock-in and clock-out times, total hours, and anything that doesn't add up.
- 1
Open your timecard
Go to the Timecard or My Time section in WFT. - 2
Choose a pay period
Pick the pay period you want to review. - 3
Read each day
Each row shows a day with your in and out punches and total hours. - 4
Report problems
If a punch is missing or wrong, tell your manager so it can be corrected.
Review your timecard before the pay period closes. A missed punch can usually only be corrected within a few days.
How to request time off.
Time-off requests are made in WFT. The rules vary by store, so ask your department manager or HR about yours.
- 1
Open Time Off
Go to the Time Off section in WFT. - 2
Choose dates and type
Pick the dates and the kind of time off: vacation, personal, unpaid and so on. - 3
Submit
Send the request. Your manager approves or denies it in the system. - 4
Check back
Look in WFT again to see the decision.
Sync your WFT schedule to Google Calendar.
WFT has no export to Google Calendar. To see your shifts next to school, the gym and appointments, you either type them in or use Titan.
Titan is a free browser extension that reads your WFT schedule and adds it to a "Home Depot Work Schedule" calendar in Google Calendar. Install it once, then click Sync Schedule whenever your schedule changes.
Smart sync
Only what changed is updated. No duplicates and no stale shifts.
A side panel
Titan opens beside WFT and never takes you off the page.
Private
The sync runs in your own browser. Titan may send only your store number to its store lookup service, to fill in the event address.
Free
No subscription, no account to create and no ads.
Free. No account to create. Works in Chrome.
Tips for using WFT.
- Bookmark wft.homedepot.com
- Put WFT on your bookmarks bar so your schedule is one click away.
- Check WFT Tuesday through Thursday
- New schedules are usually posted mid-week, so that is when next week's shifts tend to appear.
- Sync again whenever your schedule changes
- If a shift is added, removed or moved, open WFT and click Sync Schedule in Titan. Only what changed is updated, so nothing is duplicated.
- Use Titan instead of screenshots
- A screenshot doesn't update when your schedule changes, and it has no store address or reminders. Shifts in Google Calendar stay current on every device.
- Review your timecard every week
- A missing punch is easier to fix early than after the pay period closes.
