Automatically create random shift or task schedules for 100 people for a month. Up to 10 daily shifts or tasks can be scheduled with up to 5 people per shift. Employee preferences and qualifications are used to assure only qualified people are assigned to each shift or task. Great for situations where each person takes turns performing extra duties and receives only a few assignments per month. Program uses assignment history to assure a fair and even distribution of assignments. Up to 10 vacation (or otherwise unavailable) periods can be specified for each person and assignments will not be made on days. The program allows you to make manual adjustments to the schedule to accommodate special circumstances such as team scheduling and other special needs. Monthly calendars are created along with a file that can be electronically transferred to your Microsoft Outlook Calendar as well as your PDA or Smart Phone. The Excel spreadsheets come in sizes for 25 people and 5 daily shift/tasks, 50 people and 10 daily shift/tasks as well as 100 people and 10 daily shift/tasks and are priced from $149 to $399. They can be downloaded from the Shift Schedules website and used freely for evaluation.
