The Template Schedulers create fixed or rotating employee work schedules for up to 52 weeks using fixed scheduling patterns or templates.

Schedule dozens (or hundreds) of people to 2 or 3 daily work shifts to provide 24/7/365 coverage. You can schedule dozens of different shifts if that's what you need. You can have any combination of shift lengths and shift staffing each day of the week. We have provided our Fixed Schedules Shift Schedulers to many manufacturing plants, refineries, police departments and fire departments around the world. It's our most popular and versatile scheduler. Vacations and vacation coverage are easily scheduled. And, after you create your 52 week basic rotation, you can change it any way you want to switch shifts between your people or to cover training, medical leave or any other contingency. You can even assign "half shifts" or other unusual shifts as required. The "Daily Coverage" sheets show you in tables and charts how many people you have scheduled for each shift each day and will alert you if your staffing levels (due to vacations, etc.) drop below a critical level. If you need help coming up with a schedule that provides the coverage that you need, take a look at our scheduling templates for 8, 10 and 12 hour shifts covering 1, 2 and 3 shifts a day for 5, 6 and 7 days a week by clicking here.
