Automatic work schedule

[emjay6]

I'm trying to automate the proces of making weekly work schedules for my employees.


What I would like to achive is:

• input the names and number of hours each employee has to work in a week
• Set up rules, so that I have one person meeting at 6:30 where we open, one at 7 o'clock.
• Have one person geeting of work at 17:00 where we close and one at 16:30.
• The rest of the employees meeting in between these opening hours.

Hopefully i can set it up, so that I can press a button, and have the whole schudule fill out. And make some small corrections by hand.


Is this even possible?

Thanks in advance.

BEst regards
Michael

Michael,
Welcome to the Forum. The work scheduler you have described has many moving parts and may be difficult to achieve.
Below is a schedule I did for a vetinary hospital. It was not a 'one button press' schedule, but it did save the scheduler a lot of time.
There were 3 shifts a day:


7:00 AM 7:00 PM
7:00 PM 7:00 AM
2:00 PM 10:00 PM


The scheduler had to manually assign each slot to a person, we used a drop down in each cell of all the employees to select from.
With each selection, the tally sections, to the right and at the bottom, kept track of how many times each employee was assigned for that week, and month.
There may be something in this schedule maker that is useful to you, or at least a starting point. Good luck.
