Key capabilities of this feature include:
- Time-off requests: Evaluated against configurable constraints such as available leave balance, maximum consecutive days, allowed time‑off windows, shift coverage thresholds (over‑ or understaffed percentages), first‑come, first‑served rules, and seniority or tenure.
- Shift bidding: Governed by constraints including shift capacity, skill or proficiency matching, bid order or first‑come, first‑served logic, bidding windows, seniority, and schedule conflict checks such as overlaps or locked schedules.
- Shift swapping: Validated using constraints that assess coverage impact before and after the swap, detect schedule conflicts, and enforce swap eligibility rules such as allowed swap types and limits per period.
