Fair-Shift Scheduler
This is not here to replace a manager’s judgment. It is here to make the judgment easier: collect staff requests, compare coverage, spot fairness problems, and review a draft before the rota becomes everyone’s problem.
Business Problem
Scheduling is where staff preferences, fairness, coverage, and manager judgment all collide. Spreadsheets and messages make that collision harder to see.
What The Tool Does
The scheduler gathers requests, shows staffing targets, flags draft problems, and keeps the manager in control before anything is published.
Why It Matters
The value is not “AI makes a rota.” The value is that managers get a clearer review path before staff see the final schedule.
What The Manager Gets
- Collect and clean up staff availability, preferences, and notes for a given period.
- Set staffing targets and fairness expectations before draft generation begins.
- Review returned drafts, inspect warnings, and publish approved schedules with manager control intact.
Demo Direction
The public demo should keep focusing on manager review: fake staff data, example requests, draft warnings, and the final decision point before a schedule is shared.
