Assignment rotations may be configured to automatically rotate personnel from one assignment to another.
A rotation contains a predefined ordered set of assignments or shifts or both. Once the assignment rotation is in place, this application alternates the person’s assignment on the Roster and the Calendar based on the order defined within the Assignment Rotation area, the start date of the rotation, and number of days within a rotation.
For example, personnel may alternate between Day shift and Night shift or alternate from Area 1 to Area 5 or alternate both the shift and the area.
The image below displays an assignment rotation on the calendar. As shown below, the shifts automatically rotate between Mids, Days, and Evenings.
Important: If personnel alternates between shifts exclusively, you may have the option (depending on the shift pattern) to house the entire rotation in a single shift. This configuration may eliminate or reduce the number of assignments contained in the person’s Assignment tab which facilitates managing assignments, such as, transfers and new hires.
