Coverage Scheduler

Coverage Scheduler is a new module used to identify and resolve staff shortages throughout a given day. Users can define staffing requirements for each day part and schedule employees to ensure coverage requirements are met. Users can schedule employees to jobs that they are qualified to perform.

Coverage Scheduler also links with the Availability Management module so that employees’ specific availability information is shown in the schedule.

Schedule compliance rules (i.e. labor laws) are validated to prevent users from scheduling employees in a manner that would violate labor laws.

The user assigning schedule times to employees can use the new filtering mechanism to identify employees who are available, not scheduled, and eligible to work the job of the schedule period that is specified in the edit section.

Schedules in progress on the Coverage Scheduler are locked to prevent ETM users from viewing them. Once a schedule is complete, clicking Publish to ETM makes the new schedule viewable to ETM users.
