When someone calls out
Change someone's availability and Rosterzen rechecks role coverage, hours, rest and availability across the roster.
Before
Friday 16:30–23:30
Dinner Floor Lead → Lucas
Change Event
Lucas calls out sick at 15:00.
You pressure Chloe to cover the Friday dinner rush.
Weekly-hours limit exceeded
Chloe would reach 26 hours, exceeding the 20-hour weekly limit configured for her.
Short recovery before Saturday
Chloe is also scheduled for Saturday 08:00 brunch, leaving less recovery time than the roster allows.
Saturday coverage is at risk
The Friday fix makes Saturday morning harder to cover and can create another open shift.
How it works
Add the shifts and roles to cover, add your team and rules, then generate the roster.

The result
If a shift cannot be filled within your rules, Rosterzen leaves it open and tells you why.
