The Domino Effect in Rotation pattern
When someone calls in sick, manually moving names on a spreadsheet quietly creates rest violations, overtime premiums, and unstaffed posts.
Let Rosterzen calculate the safest, compliant solution.

Post Alpha Day Watch → Tom
Change Event
Tom calls in sick.
You hurriedly swap Shaun into Tom's Tuesday day shift.
Weekly hour cap breached
Shaun would exceed the configured weekly-hours limit and create a short recovery period.
Tuesday night shift unstaffed
Shaun was scheduled for night duty; moving him leaves Tuesday night empty.
Coverage gap exposed
Critical operations post left vacant during high-risk overnight hours.

FAQ
That depends on the coverage hours, people required at once and the working-time rules that apply to your team. Use the staffing calculator for raw capacity, then test the actual team in the schedule generator.
Yes. Coverage can require different roles or capabilities, so two workers on the same shift are not automatically interchangeable.
