Rostering Rules:
Rostering Rules can be used to prevent shift combinations that are not allowed – e.g. insufficient
time between shifts and to also reduce the incidence of poor combinations that although allowed are
not ideal – e.g. 7 shifts in a row without a break.
If your roster only covers normal working hours on weekdays, you probably won’t need to set up any
rostering rules. Even if you do need to use rostering rules, you may want to delay setting them up
until a later stage after you’ve had a look at the rest of the software.
If you are only using FlexiRoster to manually create your roster, the need for rostering rules are
greatly diminished – rostering rules only need to be added to aid the user in preventing bad shift
combinations. If you are wanting FlexiRoster to automatically generate rosters for you, it is
normally essential that you explicitly define what isn’t allowed when rostering through the rostering
rules system, otherwise you will find that the software will generate shift combinations that are
unworkable by your staff.
For further information on configuring rostering rules in FlexiRoster, please read the FlexiRoster
Rostering Rules Manual.
