Overview

The Real-time Self-scheduler (RTSS) enables employees to assign themselves to available shifts that comply with administrator-defined scheduling rules.

Administrators set up the module by defining the shifts to be self-scheduled and the applicable scheduling rules. Employee groups are assigned time ranges when they can select shifts. For example, an administrator may allow senior employee groups, or certain job categories and teams, to select shifts first.

When an employee selects a shift, the system verifies whether the selection conforms to the scheduling rules. If the selection complies with the rules, the shift is added to an employee’s schedule automatically. The overall scheduling coverage is updated in real time to ensure that the shift is not overstaffed. If a rule is violated, the system returns an error or warning message. Before the employee can continue, the system may prompt them to modify their schedules or shift selections.
