We're always working to improve how our systems work, and when we have more users operating 24/7 I think that we will be improving the "time of day" consistency. Letting users set their preferences - e.g. "mornings" or "afternoons" - does actually create consistency.
Managers can also set "working hours" for workers - which, for a 24/7 business, can turn the hours they are eligible to work into a hard constraint.
- burfog 11y agoNote that this isn't time-of-day consistency for working hours. That's nice, but what you really need is consistency for off hours. It's not terrible if the worker's scheduled hours jump all over within a 13-hour window as long as the worker knows that the remaining hours are usable for consistent sleep. The employee ought to be informed of their down time. For example, suppose the worker gets 6-hour shifts. It's fine to start at 3 AM on some days and at 9 AM on other days. That leaves a consistent 3 PM to 3 AM that they get for sleeping. Some days they work right after they wake up, and other days they start later.
- philip1209 11y agoI agree - and with working hours a manager could block out ~8 hours at the same time every day, employee by employee, to guarantee consistent rest hours.
