Find unfilled shifts before you publish the schedule
A schedule is not useful if it looks complete only because the software ignored a rule. Rosterzen leaves genuine staffing gaps visible.

Open shifts stay visible when nobody can be assigned without breaking a rule.
Understand the likely blocker
Check whether the problem is availability, eligibility, hours, rest or simply not enough people.
Fix the right input
Add capacity, change availability or adjust the requirement instead of guessing why the roster failed.
How it works
Build the roster
Rosterzen tries to cover the shifts using the people and rules you entered.
Review open positions
Anything that could not be staffed remains clearly marked.
Change and regenerate
Update the team or requirement, then build the schedule again.
Why an honest gap is better than a bad assignment
Some scheduling problems are genuinely impossible with the people available. Filling every cell at any cost can create double-booking, unqualified assignments, excessive hours or too little rest.
Rosterzen treats an unfilled shift as information. It tells the manager where coverage still fails so the decision can be made explicitly rather than hidden inside an invalid schedule.
Use gaps to improve the next schedule
Repeated open positions can reveal a capacity problem: a role with too few qualified people, a location that depends on one worker, a recurring availability shortage or a shift pattern that needs more relief capacity. Those patterns are easier to act on when the gaps stay visible.
- Add another qualified worker
- Change the coverage requirement
- Update availability
- Adjust the roster pattern
Frequently asked questions
Will Rosterzen leave shifts unfilled?
Yes. If nobody can take a shift within the rules you set, Rosterzen keeps it open so the schedule does not hide a staffing problem.
Can I see why a shift is open?
Rosterzen shows the main reasons nobody could take the shift, such as availability, qualifications, hours or rest limits.
Can I change the inputs and try again?
Yes. Update the coverage, people or rules and generate a new schedule.
