Too Many Shifts, Not Enough Time? Try LibStaffer’s Auto Scheduler

Managing library staff schedules can often feel like solving a complex math equation, with numerous variables such as different departments, diverse positions, varying skill sets, and multiple buildings to consider.

This task can be overwhelming, but LibStaffer is here to simplify the process and help you reclaim valuable staff time. With the Auto Scheduler, you can effortlessly create the ideal schedule you've been dreaming of.  

Set Comprehensive Parameters

Your library is unique and your schedule reflects that. Setting simple parameters will ensure your desks are covered and there are never any gaps. 

• Staff Availability
  Ensure the schedule aligns with each staff member's working hours, position, location, time off, and department assignments. 
• Holiday Closures
  Avoid scheduling staff on holidays, eliminating any accidental assignments during these times. 
• Favored Scheduling
  Prioritize certain staff members in the auto-scheduling process or enable staff to select their preferred shifts.  
• Maximum Hours
  To maintain budgetary constraints and adhere to contractual agreements, you can set maximum hour caps, ensuring no staff member exceeds their allotted hours.  
• Built-In Buffers
  The Auto Scheduler prevents back-to-back scheduling, making sure no one is inadvertently scheduled for an entire day without breaks. 
• Work Location Consideration
  The system is designed to accommodate remote work arrangements, so it will not auto-schedule individuals who are working from home.
  

Effortless Implementation

After the Auto Scheduler has crafted a preliminary schedule, you have the opportunity to thoroughly review, edit, or duplicate it to suit your needs. This flexibility ensures that every shift is perfectly aligned with your library's unique requirements. Once you have fine-tuned the schedule to perfection, you can seamlessly notify your staff directly from LibStaffer. This ensures that they receive their schedules promptly and are well-informed of their upcoming shifts.

Additionally, LibStaffer offers a robust two-way synchronization feature with web-based calendars, which guarantees that there are no scheduling conflicts, providing peace of mind and smooth operations.
