When a guard calls out
Change a guard's availability and Rosterzen rechecks site eligibility, qualifications, hours and rest across the roster.
Before
Wednesday 18:00–06:00
Main Gatehouse Night Watch → Jamal
Change Event
Jamal calls off due to family emergency.
You pull Tariq straight from the day shift into night coverage.
Double-shift fatigue breach
Tariq would be asked to work back-to-back coverage that breaks the roster's configured rest rule.
Thursday morning gate unmanned
Tariq cannot report for Thursday 06:00 gatehouse shift; site access is delayed.
Another coverage problem
Moving Tariq creates a second coverage issue that now needs another officer or a changed assignment.
How it works
Add the posts to cover, add your guards and rules, then generate the roster.
Posts to cover
Set the site, shift time, headcount and any required training, licence or role.
Configuration

The result
If no eligible guard can cover a post within your rules, Rosterzen leaves it open and tells you why.
