S5 Random Shifts

 

The Volunteer Schedulers can automatically assign random shifts or tasks to Your people for up to a month.

Simply enter your people's names and shifts/tasks and locations and push the button to randomly assign your people to daily shifts or tasks at various locations for up to a month. The assignments will be evenly distributed among all of your people so everyone will get the same number of weekend, weekday and holiday assignments and the location assignments will be fairly distributed. You can specify your people's qualifications and preferences to assure that everyone is considered for only those shifts, tasks and locations they prefer or are qualified to perform.

The scheduler doesn't care if you need only one person a week or fifty people a day for those special assignments. It also doesn't matter if you need everyone to be assigned to a shift or task once a month, once a week, once a day, or whatever. The scheduler works around individual availability by allowing you to specify up to 10 vacations and other planned absences for each person. You can also assign other days off and reasons for a person not taking a shift on a particular day.

You can schedule just one day or a whole month, or anything in between. And, if you schedule several months or years, the program remembers past assignments and uses the entire scheduling history when selecting someone for the next daily assignment assuring long-term continuity in your scheduling. This ultra-fair approach to scheduling allows both random selection and the even distribution of assignments among all of your people.

Before you push the button to automatically create your schedules, you can manually assign anyone to any shift if you need a particular person to take a particular shift and after the automatic scheduler has assigned someone to all of your shifts, you can modify the schedule as necessary by manually changing the assignments to fit your needs. This approach allows you to do team scheduling and to control agent combinations when two or more people work together.

"The Random Shifts spreadsheet was invaluable in helping us assign volunteers to sit with one of our parishioners for several weeks during her time of need. Thank you so much for giving it to us free." - Judy in Jackson, Tennessee.


Yes, we sometimes donate a spreadsheet to a worthy cause.
 

 
Ken Barrett wrote to tell us " The VS-10-100 scheduling program really worked for us when we did our shift scheduling for our committee volunteers for this year's rodeo. Dick Chapman was very helpful, and cordial in working with us in developing the program which met our needs. I would recommend Shift Schedules to anyone who has the challenge of scheduling large groups of people, with varying number of shifts, number of people on each shift and varying shift times."


This is really a great tool for organizing a large group of volunteers saving you time to do other things.
