Staffing coverage

See which shifts still need people

A schedule can look full and still leave the important shift short. ElShift lets managers set the people needed for a shift—and, when Locations are enabled, the minimum needed at a specific site or work area.

In short

Set required headcount for a shift and optional minimums for each Location. Auto Assign fills suitable openings using the scheduling information and rules in ElShift. If it cannot fill a required place without breaking a hard rule, the gap remains visible for a manager to review.

Set the number each shift needs

Choose the headcount required for each shift template. This gives Auto Assign and the manager a clear target, rather than treating every assignment as an isolated calendar entry.

Check each site, not just the total

With Locations enabled, managers can set a minimum for a particular site or work area. That makes it possible to see when the shift has enough people overall but one location still needs coverage.

Use an open shift as a useful signal

If leave, work patterns, hours or another hard rule leaves too few suitable employees, ElShift can show where coverage is missing. A manager can then review the staffing need or decide what to do next.
