ElShift checks the scheduling information your team has set—such as leave, work patterns, weekly hours, preferences, locations, and required staffing—when Auto Assign places employees into shifts.
Rules can keep an unsuitable assignment from being made
A person on leave, already assigned at the same time, over a set weekly-hour limit, on a work-pattern rest day, or not suitable for a location may not be assigned to that shift.
Use preferences to choose between suitable employees
When several employees can work a shift, their weekday and shift preferences help Auto Assign choose between them. Leave and other schedule rules can rule someone out. Location preferences also affect which sites a person can be assigned to.
A shortage stays visible
If nobody can cover a required place without breaking a rule you have set, ElShift can leave it open and show the manager why instead of making the schedule look complete.
One scheduling approach, different kinds of teams
A restaurant dinner shift, a warehouse night crew, or a cleaning team across customer sites all need the right people in the right place. The details differ, but managers still have to plan around leave, hours, repeating patterns, and the number of people needed.
FAQ
Common questions
Is constraint-aware scheduling just a calendar with rules?
It means Auto Assign uses the employee and shift details managers have set instead of treating everyone as interchangeable. When no suitable assignment is possible, the open need can remain visible for review.
What if nobody can cover a shift within the rules we set?
ElShift can leave the shift partially or fully uncovered and show the reason, so a manager can review the gap.
