The task of Staff Scheduling is to arrange the company's employees in a target-oriented manner. The qualifications and skills of the employees, the requirement profiles of the workplace and, ideally, the interests and preferences of the individual employees must be taken into account.
Determining the economically optimal personnel requirements is the core task of any personnel deployment planning. What may sound simple at first is actually a highly complex task. Influencing factors that the planner must take into account include working hours and labor law regulations, time accounts, absences, vacation planning, protective laws, personnel costs incurred and, last but not least, future demand situations. Every company has different requirements for all of these factors - which cannot be met with an “off-the-shelf” concept. The basis of every ZEUS® Staff Scheduling plan is therefore a concept that is developed together with those responsible in the company and tailored to the needs and possibilities.

DIGITAL STAFF SCHEDULING FROM ISGUS
ZEUS® Staff Scheduling and Time and Attendance ideally complement each other and support you during personnel demand assesment and daily staff scheduling. You are made aware of under-staffing, over-staffing and absenteeism at all times. Working time accounts, holiday calendars and absence planning are always available to you when planning.
Staff Scheduling controls Time and Attendance. This means that the planner can always be sure that his planning is automatically based on the correct working time models and that the employees' working time is correctly accounted for.
The planning effort significantly decreases through ZEUS® Staff Scheduling and simultaneously planning quality increases. In the event of a shortage of cover, employees who are eligible for cover are selected and informed directly via the integrated messenger on the ISGUS terminal, in the ZEUS® mailbox and mobile via email and push message and can report interactively in order to accept or reject the assignment proposal. With the digital shift swap, employees are able to swap shifts with colleagues autonomously. The solution uses the same communication channels as the shift exchange.
The presence indicator board provides users with all information about employees that are scheduled for a fragile shift or a different shift, are not in use, are available in the reserve pool or are on an absence. The planner thus receives a list of suggestions, which he can use to immediately locate and directly address replacement staff in the event of sudden bottlenecks, in order to compensate for the staff shortage that has occurred.
The presence indicator board in ZEUS® suggests suitable substitutes in order to be able to react quickly and correctly in case of bottlenecks. Interactively, the informed employees can accept or reject the offer. The planner can staff the shift transparently for everyone and without further effort through telephone calls, queries, etc.
The shift swap option allows employees, who cannot work their scheduled early, normal or late shift for whatever reason, to offer it to suitably qualified colleagues. Co-workers being prepared to swap the shift can declare their willingness in an interactive way. Finally, it is up to the planner to accept or refuse the shift swap request.
In principle, all those colleagues are eligible for a shift swap who belong to the same planning unit/department and, furthermore, are scheduled for the desired shift on the same day. Once an employee has triggered a shift swap request, all co-workers concerned will be automatically notified about a pending shift swap. They can directly declare their consent to the shift swap by clicking on the “Declare willingness to swap the shift” link embedded in the notification, for instance, via ZEUS® mobile App.
