Q: I run a 3 shifts per day 24x7. The tool looks and works awesome. However I have two concerns.. The roster is for humans, it allocates emp1 on Monday for 8-16hrs shift and the same emp1 for a 00:00 to 08:00(midnight shift). Rotating like this is going to be difficult and my employee sleep cycles goes for a toss. I am wondering if there is something that can be done to make sure that the same employee stays in the allocated shift all thru the month? For exmaple, I would like emp1 to be in morning shifts all thru the month or at least 80% of the times? I also would like to spare one day of the weekend for every employee - how can I achieve this?

A: Using the Min Break Hrs you can force the allocation to include a 2 shift break ie if you have three 8 hour shifts per day set the Min Break Hrs as 16 this means that the next shift staff can work is the corresponding shift on the next day. You will also need to set the Max Cont Hrs as less than 2 shifts and equal to or greater than 1 shift ie in your case 8 hours, this only allows them to work 1 shift in a row. The 1 day off will need to be manually set by forcing a Yes or No work requirement by inputting a "Y" or "N" to mark a matrix cell before you Build Roster. See the Shift Details section of the Help file https://bizpep.com/shiftscheduler.html . hope this helps and thanks for the feedback.
