Hello there,
I have 2 issues I am encountering with making schedules and using the auto scheduler.
Is there a way to mandate a 24hr period off for every week that isn't averaged over the block?
Also is there a way to have a conference count as a day worked during a week but in a way that doesn't interfere with having a shift that day as well?
We have conferences from 11am-3pm on Wednesdays. Staff can work 3:30-midnight or 6pm-2am on these days as part of our rules. If they are not working a shift I need this to still count as a day worked so we do not have people work 7 days in a row.
Thanks!

Hello upstateem,
Thanks for writing.

Not at the moment, sorry.

Normally that's possible if the shift starts right after the conference ends (so at 3pm in your case). As soon as there is a gap between conference and shift, the "rest between duty periods" rule kicks in.
In your case, the easiest way to make a schedule may be to run the randomizer on the schedule without any conferences, then add residents to conference where they fit, and move shifts around to ensure the 1-in-7 day off is respected.
I hope that helps. Let me know if you have further questions.
Kind regards,
