Hi there,

Ensuring a work schedule adheres to compliance requirements is crucial to prevent overworking employees. This involves providing sufficient rest periods, limiting consecutive workdays, and preventing excessive daily shifts. Managing these compliance rules can be challenging, as it's easy to inadvertently schedule an employee too early or for too many consecutive days, resulting in a non-compliant schedule.

Soon offers a solution to this complexity with its Auto-Scheduler feature, which introduces three new constraints designed to maintain schedule compliance:

  • Maximum Consecutive Working Days: This constraint ensures an employee does not work beyond the allowed number of consecutive days. Soon guarantees that after a set sequence of workdays, an employee will have at least one full day off.
  • Minimum Rest Time Between Shifts: To prevent scheduling issues such as assigning an evening shift followed by an early morning shift the next day, this constraint ensures a minimum rest period between two shifts for an employee.
  • Maximum Events Per Day: For schedules involving multiple shifts in a day, this constraint is crucial to limit the number of shifts an employee can work, ensuring no one exceeds the set maximum.

By leveraging these constraints, Soon's Auto-Scheduler enables planners to create compliant schedules effortlessly, removing the complexity of manually ensuring adherence to these important rules.

Starting today, teams subscribed to the Business or Enterprise plan can access these new scheduling constraints. If your team isn't on one of these plans yet, consider upgrading to take advantage of these updates and more features to come.
