Shift start times need to be the same everyday (except sat/sun which can be up to 2 hrs different) Shifts need to be 5 8's, 4 10's or 3 12's No more than 10% of schedules can be scheduled both sat and Sunday. I'm not management, just looking for a software way to figure out what the schedules have to look like to follow the rules. And if we have to hire more people…
