HomeAvailability-based scheduling

Employee scheduling based on availability

Enter when people can work once, then build the roster around those limits instead of checking availability after the schedule is already made.

Open shifts stay visible when nobody can be assigned without breaking a rule.

Use real availability

Keep each person inside the days and times they can actually work.

Combine it with other rules

Availability is checked alongside qualifications, locations, hours and rest rather than on its own.

Make changes easier

When availability changes, regenerate instead of manually rechecking the whole week.

How it works

1

Add availability

Record when each person is available and any time off.

2

Add the shifts

Define the times and coverage you need.

3

Build the week

Rosterzen schedules available, eligible people and leaves real gaps open.

Availability is only one part of a workable schedule

Knowing that someone is free does not tell you whether they are qualified, allowed at the location, already close to their weekly hours, or too close to another shift. Rosterzen checks those conditions together so the schedule is usable, not just conflict-free on the calendar.

Use availability to reduce rework

Managers often lose time building a draft, checking it against messages or spreadsheets, then rebuilding it after finding conflicts. Bringing availability into the scheduling inputs moves that check to the start of the process.

Frequently asked questions

Can employees have different availability each day?

Yes. Availability can differ by day and can be combined with time off and the other scheduling rules you use.

Does availability guarantee someone will be scheduled?

No. Availability means the person can be considered; qualifications, location, hours, rest and coverage needs still affect the final assignment.

What happens when availability changes?

Update it and generate again. Rosterzen rebuilds the schedule again using the new information.
