When you fill a shift at 5am, who checks the rules?

Every fill option was checked against availability, competency, hours, fatigue and cost, and where none was compliant, we said so with the rule named.

Business outcomes

  • Compliance checked at 5am, at the moment the decision is actually made
  • The binding constraint named, which turns an escalation into a decision
  • Non-compliant options disclosed with the rule and the liability, so a forced choice is at least a knowing one
  • Employees contacted through approved preference rules, not by who is easiest to reach
  • Every fill carrying its compliance evidence, which turns a roster into evidence of rule compliance

Measured on

  • Required skill coverage and unfilled shifts
  • Award and fatigue compliance breaches
  • Overtime, agency and short-notice cost
  • Fairness, fatigue and employee-acceptance indicators

What SHIRA does alone, and what stays with your team
